Standard (EADGBE)

strange as it may seem

I once had my football dreams

+6

but I was always the last one

the last to get chosen

when my classmates picked their teams

I guess that was the way it stayed

in every game I played

+6

life just kicked me

and clattered and tripped me

til you picked from the parade

now I feel like I've won the cup

every time that we make love

forty five minutes each way

at halftime I hear a brassband play

Chorus

the boy done good

the girl done better

seasons turn, we're still together

the sky's still blue

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

I tried hard acting tough

but 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

But I'm happier than 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
