Intro:  D  A - Bm  G  A   (x2) 

D                    A        Bm 
The game was tied at seven all
G                        A 
she said lets take a walk
D             A          Bm 
found a place behind the stands
G                       A 
she said we need to talk
    G                        A 
she went on and on bout this town being small
    D                          A 
and how she needed other things
D                            A        Bm 
just about when they made it seven to ten
G           A       D 
she gave me back my ring 
D                  A         Bm
Cheers went up and she broke down
G                    A 
she said it isn?t you
D                    A        Bm 
I think you know how I really feel
G                            A  
but there?s things I need to do
         G                    A 
she said something about some school down south
D                           A 
where she was gonna go next fall
D                       A       Bm 
fourteen to ten we were winning again
G           A          D 
while I was loosin? it all 
G                     A
She looked at me with tear-filled eyes
    D               A 
and said I hope you realize
G                    A 
that this is not the way that I
Bm              A  Bm  
meant for it to end
G                A 
and suddenly the crowd broke through
       D                 A 
yellin we?ve got spirit, how bout you
G                    A 
and all that I could think to do was
Bm          A Bm  
simply join in  
D                       A       Bm
She said its best if we do this now
G                    A 
then it began to rain
D                A     Bm 
I wasn?t sure if I was shakin?
G                    A  
from the cold or the pain
G                    A 
she turned away then she stopped to say
    D                        A 
she really hoped I understood
  D                     A           Bm 
I nodded my head as the loudspeaker said
G           A      D
the kick is up and good 
G                 A
I waited till she walked back in
     D                 A 
then turned my back in to the wind
G                A 
before I let the tears begin to
Bm            A   Bm  
fall with the rain
G                 A 
I made it back in time to see
D              A  
Jason throw to Bobby Lee
G                   A              Bm          A   Bm 
and make homecoming history with a ninety yard gain 
D                    A       Bm
Now there?s a banner hangin? down
G                    A  
from the stadium wall
D               A    Bm 
remindin? every body of
G                     A  
the year we won it all
    G                     A 
and though I was at every game I swear  
D                   A
one remains a memory
       D             A         Bm 
it was twenty-one to seventeen when  
G        A      D
time ran out on me 
       D             A         Bm
It was twenty-one to seventeen when
G        A      D  
time ran out on me
