Intro:  D5  A5 - B5  G5  A5   (x2) 

D5                    A5        B5 
The game was tied at seven all
G5                        A5 
she said lets take a walk
D5             A5          B5 
found a place behind the stands
G5                       A5 
she said we need to talk
    G5                        A5 
she went on and on bout this town being small
    D5                          A5 
and how she needed other things
D5                            A5        B5 
just about when they made it seven to ten
G5           A5       D5 
she gave me back my ring 
D5                  A5         B5
Cheers went up and she broke down
G5                    A5 
she said it isn?t you
D5                    A5        B5 
I think you know how I really feel
G5                            A5  
but there?s things I need to do
         G5                    A5 
she said something about some school down south
D5                           A5 
where she was gonna go next fall
D5                       A5       B5 
fourteen to ten we were winning again
G5           A5          D5 
while I was loosin? it all 
G5                     A5
She looked at me with tear-filled eyes
    D5               A5 
and said I hope you realize
G5                    A5 
that this is not the way that I
B5              A5  B5  
meant for it to end
G5                A5 
and suddenly the crowd broke through
       D5                 A5 
yellin we?ve got spirit, how bout you
G5                    A5 
and all that I could think to do was
B5          A5 B5  
simply join in  
D5                       A5       B5
She said its best if we do this now
G5                    A5 
then it began to rain
D5                A5     B5 
I wasn?t sure if I was shakin?
G5                    A5  
from the cold or the pain
G5                    A5 
she turned away then she stopped to say
    D5                        A5 
she really hoped I understood
  D5                     A5           B5 
I nodded my head as the loudspeaker said
G5           A5      D5
the kick is up and good 
G5                 A5
I waited till she walked back in
     D5                 A5 
then turned my back in to the wind
G5                A5 
before I let the tears begin to
B5            A5   B5  
fall with the rain
G5                 A5 
I made it back in time to see
D5              A5  
Jason throw to Bobby Lee
G5                   A5              B5          A5   B5 
and make homecoming history with a ninety yard gain 
D5                    A5       B5
Now there?s a banner hangin? down
G5                    A5  
from the stadium wall
D5               A5    B5 
remindin? every body of
G5                     A5  
the year we won it all
    G5                     A5 
and though I was at every game I swear  
D5                   A5
one remains a memory
       D5             A5         B5 
it was twenty-one to seventeen when  
G5        A5      D5
time ran out on me 
       D5             A5         B5
It was twenty-one to seventeen when
G5        A5      D5  
time ran out on me
