E A E AE Eighth grade, Away football game A E There's a chill in the air, Mouthpieces and Gatorade A B7 My girlfriend's a cheerleader, I'm infatuated with the girl E With the game A E E My shoulderpads are too small, My helmet's way too big A E My uniform's too clean, I haven't touched the ball A She's watching me again, O God B7 Please make the coach put me in Chorus: A E A E B7 I know what it feels like to be second string A E A E B7 I know what it feels like to just sit on the bench C#m7 And watch your friends play, and wonder why you're even on the team A B7 E I know second string A E A E First date, I just got my driver's license A E There's fog on the road, we're lost and really late A B7 Driving Mama's car, the wrong way on an exit ramp Chorus E A E E Long time ago, there was a shepard boy A E He tended his sheep, he was of Jesse's line A B7 E There was a war going on, when he got drafted by the Lord A E A E His shoulder bones were too small, his suit of armor to big A E His sword was way too heavy, still he heeded the call A B7 Armed with his faith, five stones and a sling shot Chorus
