F5 C5 If I hadn't dropped the ball, I would have took it all the way, D5 Bb5 Homecoming' '89 with ten seconds left to play. F5 C5 We were drivin' toward the goal line, they were screamin' in the stands, D5 Bb5 I had the chance to be a hero, but it slipped right through my hands. C5 There would have been a big pep rally, D5 C5 Bb5 F5 They would have hung my jersey on the wall.... G5 C5 F5 If I hadn't dropped the ball. F5 C5 Well me and Cyndi Miller were supposed to meet after the game, D5 Bb5 I waited by the bleachers, but she never came. F5 C5 I found a note on my windshield underneath the wiper blade, D5 Bb5 With 'Goodbye' bleeding through it in the cold October rain. C5 We probably would have gotten married, D5 C5 Bb5 F5 And those recruiters in from Bama would have called.... G5 C5 F5 If I hadn't dropped the ball. Bb5 My life would have been so different if in that answer, F5 F5 Things had gone the way I planned. Bb5 D5 But the fact is that they didn't, and the hand I wound up gettin' G5 C5 Is something that I'll never understand. F5 C5 I ran away that Summer, took a job out on the coast. D5 Bb5 And that's where I met your momma, and the rest I guess you know. F5 C5 If I had the chance to go back and score that last touchdown, D5 Bb5 Well son, I wouldn't do it, 'cause you wouldn't be here now. C5 And I wouldn't be your hero, D5 C5 F5 F5 I wouldn't be around to catch you when you fall.... G5 C5 F5 If I hadn't dropped the ball. Bb5 My life would have been so different if in that answer, F5 F5 Things had gone the way I planned. Bb5 D5 But the fact is that they didn't, and the hand I wound up gettin' G5 C5 Is the one that God intended me to have. Bb5 F5 G5 No I wouldn't the man I am at all, C5 F5 If I hadn't dropped the ball.
