Intro:  D  A-Bm  G  A   (x2)

[D]The game was tied at [A]seven all[Bm]
[G]she said lets take a walk[A]
[D]found a place [A]behind the [Bm]stands
[G]she said we need to talk[A]
she [G]went on and on bout this [A]town being small
and [D]how she needed other things[A]
[D]just about when they made it [A]seven to [Bm]ten
[G]she gave me [A]back my [D]ring

[D]Cheers went up and [A]she broke [Bm]down
[G]she said it isn’t you[A]
[D]I think you know how [A]I really [Bm]feel 
[G]but there’s things I need to [A]do
she said [G]something about some [A]school down south
[D]where she was gonna go next [A]fall
[D]fourteen to ten we were [A]winning [Bm]again
[G]while I was [A]loosin’ it [D]all

[G]She looked at me with [A]tear-filled eyes
and [D]said I hope you [A]realize
[G]that this is not the [A]way that I 
[Bm]meant for it to [A]end[Bm]
[G]and suddenly the [A]crowd broke through
yellin [D]we’ve got spirit, [A]how bout you
[G]and all that I could [A]think to do was 
[Bm]simply join [A]in{Bm] 

[D]She said its best if we [A]do this [Bm]now
[G]then it began to rain[A]
[D]I wasn’t sure if [A]I was [Bm]shakin’ 
[G]from the cold or the [A]pain
[G]she turned away then [A]she stopped to say
she [D]really hoped I understood[A]
I [D]nodded my head as the [A]loudspeaker [Bm]said
[G]the kick is [A]up and [D]good

[G]I waited till she [A]walked back in
then [D]turned my back in [A]to the wind
[G]before I let the [A]tears begin to 
[Bm]fall with the [A]rain[Bm]
[G]I made it back in [A]time to see 
[D]Jason throw to [A]Bobby Lee
[G]and make homecoming [A]history with a [Bm]ninety yard [A]gain[Bm]

[D]Now there’s a banner [A]hangin’ [Bm]down 
[G]from the stadium wall[A]
[D]remindin’ every [A]body [Bm]of 
[G]the year we won it all[A]
and [G]though I was at every [A]game I swear 
[D]one remains a memory[A]
it was [D]twenty-one to [A]seventeen [Bm]when 
[G]time ran [A]out on [D]me

It was [D]twenty-one to [A]seventeen [Bm]when 
[G]time ran [A]out on [D]me
