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
