Verse 1
(G major) I fell (D major) on the playing (G major) field (D major) (E minor)
The work of an errant heel (C major)
The din of the crowd and
the loud commo (A minor) tion
Went deafening (D major) silence and
stopped emotion (G major)
The season (D major) was al (G major) most done (D major) (E minor)
We managed it 12 to (C major) 1
So far I had known no humiliation
(A minor) In front of my (C major) (D major) friends
and close relations
(C major)
Verse 2
There's my father looking on (G major) (D major) (C major)
And there's my girlfriend arm in arm (G major)
With the cap (E minor) tain of the other team
And (C major) all of this is clear to me
They (D major) condescend and fix on me a frown (C major)
(A minor) How they (D major) love the sport (G major) ing life

Verse 3
(G major)
And father had had such hopes (E minor)
For a son who would take
the ropes (C major)
And fulfill all his old athletic aspiration (A minor) s
But apparently (C major) (D major) now there's
some complications
(G major) But while I (D major) am ly (G major) ing here (D major) (E minor)
Trying to fight the tears (C major)
I'll prove to the crowd that I
come out stronger (A minor)
Though I think I might (C major) (D major) lie here
a little longer (C major)
Verse 4
There's (C major) my coach he's looking down (G major)
(C major) The disappointment in his
knitted brow (G major)
I should've (E minor) known
He thinks again
I (C major) never should have put him in
(D major) He turns and loads the lemonade away (C major)
And (A minor) breathes in (D major) deep
(G major) The sporting life
(D major) The sport (E minor) ing life
The sport (C major) ing life
How he (G major) loves
