G I fell on the playing field Em The work of an errant heel C The din of the crowd and the loud commotion Am D When deafening silence and stopped motion G The season was almost done Em We'd managed it twelve to one C So far I had known no humiliation Am D In front of my friends and close relation Cmaj7 G There's my father looking on Cmaj7 G And there's my girlfriend arm in arm Em With the captain of the other team C And all of this is clear to me D C They condescend to fix on me a frown Am D How they love G The sporting life
G And father had had such hopes Em For a son who would take the ropes C And fufill all his old athletic aspirations Am D But apparently now there's some complications G But while I am lying here Em Trying to fight the tears C I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger Am D Though I think I might lie here a little longer Cmaj7 G Cause there's my coach he's looking down Cmaj7 G The disappointment in his knitted brow Em I should have known he thinks again C I never should have put him in D C He turns to load the lemonade away Am D And breathes in deep G The sporting life Em The sporting life C The sporting life G How he loves Cmaj7 G There's my father looking on Cmaj7 G And there's my girlfriend arm in arm Em With the captain of the other team C And all of this is clear to me D C They condescend to fix on me a frown Am D How they love G The sporting life Em The sporting life C The sporting life G How they love
