[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [B] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] You know [F] man, when I was a young man in high school, [Am] _ [C]
you believe it or not, I wanted to
play [F] football for the coach.
_ _ [C] _
_ [Cm] And all those [F] older guys, they said that he was mean and cruel, but you [C] know, _ I wanted
to play [F] football for the coach.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] They said I was a little too lightweight to play [G] linebacker, so I'm [C] playing right hand.
[Em] I [G] wanted to play [F] football for the coach.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] But you know someday man, you gotta stand up straight and let [C] your gunna fall.
Then you're [F] gonna die.
_ _ [C] _
_ And the [F] straightest dude I ever knew was standing right by me all [C] the time.
_ So I had to [F] play football for the coach.
_ _ [C] _
Man, I wanted to play [F] football for the coach.
_ _ [C] _
_ [Em] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ When [F] you're all alone and lonely, _ [C] in your midnight hour,
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ and [F] you find that your soul's been up for sale,
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ and [F] you begin to think about all [Em] of the things that you've [C] done,
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ and you [F] begin to hate [Am] just [Dm] about everything.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ But remember the [F] princess who lived on the hill,
who _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ loved you even though she [F] knew you was wrong,
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ and right [F] now she just might come shining through.
_ _ [G] And [C] the _ glory [F] of love, _ [C] _ _ _
[F] glory of love, _ [C] _ _ _
[F] glory of love just might come [Dm] through. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [F] When all your stupid friends have thrown [C] and ripped you off,
[F] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] and they're talking behind your back saying man you're never [Dm] gonna be no human being.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [B] _
[F] Then you start thinking [C] again about all of the things that's done,
_ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] and who it was, and what it [F] was,
and all the different [Dm] things you made every day you've seen.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
But remember that the [F] city is a funny place, _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ something _ like a circus [F] or a zoo,
_ _ _ _ [G] _
[Am] _ _ _ _ and just remember different [F] people have peculiar tastes.
_ [C] And the _ glory [F] of love, _ [C] _ _
the [F] glory of love, _ [C] _
the [F] glory of love might see [Dm] you through. _
_ [G] _ _ Yeah [C] but now, [G] now, glory [F] of love, _ [C] _ _ [G] the glory [F] of love, _ [C] _ _ the glory of [F] love might see you [Am] through.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ _ Glory [F] of love, _ [C] the [G] glory of [F] love, _ [C] _ glory of love, [F] glory of [C] love, [G] glory of love [F] now.
