Part 1: Chordless

Step up to the plate to play the game

Save yourself and quit to play it safe

Part 2: Chords entering in

Verse 1

Step up to the plate to play the game

Save yourself and quit to play it safe

The boy has got skill, but the girl's got notion

He's smart enough, but he lacks devotion

Your reasons rhyme, but your rhymes keep scheming

And that's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone

And I know that you'll never make it on your own

Chorus

I know you'll never get it right

You only take it so far then leave it all behind

So tonight I'm making up my mind

Before we take this too far and leave it all behind

Verse 2

So rise up to the occasion

'Cause you're all excuse with no explaination

You've got minor details filling major gaps in your memory

So just trace your footsteps back to where this all started

Before you got yourself broken hearted

Now just keep your head down

'Cause you'll never figure it out

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Yeah

And I'll miss you when I'm gone, I'll sing you a sad song

tonight

And I'll miss you when I'm gone, I'll sing you a sad song

Whispering:

One more chance to get this right

One more chance to get it right

One more chance to get this right

But you'll never get it right

(Repeat Chorus)

Interlude

Step up to the plate to play the game
