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
C7M G
There's my father looking on
C7M 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
C7M G
Cause there's my coach he's looking down
C7M 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
