Box Scores chords by The Baseball Project
Verse 1
G
Well, here's a song
that takes you away
from all that sordid business.
This is a song about being a kid
and then being a teenager
and then being a grown -up man
and then being an older grown -up man
and still having the box scores
as your everyday solace.
That's what this song is about.
hope you like it. It's called box scores
and as I like to say
it's the most rocking song
C
about reading the paper
G
Sporting green, seven -pistol chrono
When I was a young man
C
A cup of coffee in my hand
Forget about myself,
G
forget everybody else
D
I keep my eye on the sparrow
C
I keep my focus pretty narrow
G
I listen to the music
and read books about its makers
I read books about baseball,
the swingers and the tankers
C
But what I love even more
G
is more and over box scores
D
For half an hour every day
C
I let the box scores,
G
let the box scores have their way
It's like meditation
C
Forget about your problems
Take a mind made condition
G
And the numbers in the column
Static layers may fade away
C
Too many for this one break
But every summer, every day
G
The box scores keep me sane
D
I put my eye on the sparrow
C
I keep my focus pretty narrow
G
I listen to the music
And read books about its makers
I read books about baseball
The swingers and the takers
C
But what I love even more
G
Is pouring over box scores
D
For half an hour every day,
C
I let the box scores,
G
let the box scores have their way.
C
There's not a week, a website reads out,
G
oh no, no highlights on ESPN.
D
A
Baseball tonight is out of sight,
D
G
D
but the box score is my best friend.
G
I can play the whole game through,
C
I can watch it in my mind,
The box score tells the whole truth,
G
that's the way it was designed.
when the last newspaper goes,
C
we'll just read them on our phones.
It'll never be quite the same,
but the Foxcore will admit.
G
D
I keep my eye on the sparrow.
C
I keep my focus pretty narrow.
G
I listen to the music,
read books about its makers,
I read books about Facebook,
the swingers and the takers
C
But what I love even more
G
is pouring over box scores
D
For half an hour every day
C
I let the box scores,
let the box scores,
let the box scores,
