Em
Strange as it may seem
D C/G
I once had my football dreams
G+6
But I was always the last one
G
The last to get chosen
D
When my classmates picked their teams
Em
I guess that was the way it stayed
D C/G
in every game I played
G+6
Life just kicked me
G
And clattered and tripped me
D
Til you picked from the parade
Bm
Now I feel like I've won the cup
Em
Every time that we make love
C/G
Forty five minutes each way
D Bm
At halftime I hear a brassband play
[chorus]
C/G
The boy done good
D
The girl done better
Em D C/G
Seasons turn, we're still together
C/G
The sky's still blue
D Em D
Tomorrow is another day
You weren't that kind of a bird who
Likes her studs to be covered in mud
Taking you to the pictures was a regular fixture
For one of life's eternal subs
Though I tried hard acting tough
I just can't stand the taste of that stuff
Like some macho park player I got in the way of
In some grudge match against his pub
Still I'm happier where I am today
Now I've put my boots away
I guess I'll never get picked to play
My song on Match of the Day
[chorus] x 2
