[D] Well, [G]
[D] my brother moved away, searching for that shining light.

[D] And me, I stuck around, just living in this town.
I got [G] so many friends here, [Bm] keeps me [D] around, dreaming every day.
Hell, I dreamt my life away.
When I was [G] a boy, I [D] grew up catching for Detroit.
My brother was a Yankee, my buddy Whitey was a Met.
[G] We'd all win the pennant, game [D] winning hit.
And Whitey's digging ditches, and I'm unemployed.
Grounded [G] out on wishes, [D] far from little boys.
And [G] we never thought life gonna get [D] so real.
Cuz we always [G] thought life's [D] a baseball field.
And even [G] if we lost, [D] we'll never complain.
[G] There's always tomorrow in a brand new [D] game.

Still gonna mount [D] a first base.

And he grew up on a farm, catching fly balls in the pasture.
He got a cannon for an arm, taught me how to love life.

Shagging [D] balls with Willie Mays.
