Em
strange as it may seem
D C/G
I once had my football dreams
G+6
but I was always the last one
G
the last to get chosen
D
when my classmates picked their teams
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/billy-bragg/123163.html ]
Em
I guess that was the way it stayed
D C/G
in every game I played
G+6
life just kicked me
G
and clattered and tripped me
D
til you picked from the parade
Bm
now I feel like I've won the cup
Em
every time that we make love
C/G
forty five minutes each way
D Bm
at halftime I hear a brassband play
[chorus]
C/G
the boy done good
D
the girl done better
Em D C/G
seasons turn, we're still together
C/G
the sky's still blue
D Em D
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] x 2
