Verse 1:
G+G           D MajorD
I was 14 and losing ground
           E minorEm
In a black top of a town
                 C majorC
Where no one wins and no one's leaving
G+G               D MajorD
My dad said, Son, you finish school

Because this world can be so cruel

I said, ?You too? and kept on dreaming

Pre-Chorus 1:
G+G           D MajorD
I am nothing like you, nothing like you
E minorEm             C majorC
Why don't you know anything about me?
G+G           D MajorD
I swear somehow, I'll make you proud
E minorEm               C majorC
But why you wanna always go and doubt me

A augmentedA million lonely nights, a million times I tried
            C majorC
To jump like Michael Jordan, but never quite as high

G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC

High, high

High

Verse 2:
G+G            D MajorD
When I was 19 I ran so far
               E minorEm
They couldn't catch me on the yard
           C majorC
I traveled unfamiliar places
G+G                D MajorD
My dad said ?Son, just come back home
                E minorEm
You won't survive out on your own
                C majorC
You're on a fast break running aimless?


Pre-Chorus 2:
G+G             D MajorD
But I'm nothing like you, nothing like you
E minorEm                C majorC
Why don't you believe I have the answers?
G+G           D MajorD
I swear somehow I'll make you proud
E minorEm                   C majorC
But why can't you just let me take my chances now?

Bridge:
G+G          D MajorD
I'm 49, the game is mine
          E minorEm
And every night is overtime
                C majorC
I beat the odds and I a?m still playing
G+G                D MajorD
My dad has passed ha?s been long gone
              E minorEm
I wish he'd met my teenage son
                  C majorC
It'?s been harder than I thought to raise him


{Pre-Chorus 3]
G+G           D MajorD
I'm just like you, so much like you
E minorEm              C majorC
Silent as he's jumping for a layup
G+G            D MajorD
But I'm so proud of him, so proud
