Home Run Tab

I know this isn't the best transcription, but it should be enough to get you by

VERSE
                 
The lights go on, another game day
                          
I grabbed my bat and headed for the plate
                                        
But the first pitch was a curve and I was done - Strike one!
                                    
I stepped out of the box, looked the pitcher in the eye
                                       
You could read his lips, "Hey punk, you're mine."
                                        
So I gave him a wink and said "Let's see what you can do." - Strike two!



CHORUS:
                                                       
Gotta keep my eye on the ball, swing straight and true and follow through
                              
Don't be afraid whatever the call
                   
Because we're never alone
                     
Our coach is there to cheer us on
              *          *          
Well it's the wind up, here comes that ball
                                                 
You gotta pray and swing, watch it till it's going, going, its gone
               
Home    Home    Home  run
              
(we need a home run)

VERSE 2
                           
You know life can be like a baseball game
                          
We're on the same team, but we're not all the same
                                           (    )
That's why we've got to learn to play together
                          
I didn't join this team to sit on the bench
              
I'm going deep, swinging for the fence
                                         (    )
I got some friends on base I gotta get home

(Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE:
                                        
We are not the first to play this game or stand over this plate
                                 
We are surrounded by their legacy, like they're sittin' in the stands

I can see them waving their hands
                  
saying, "Go, go all the way!"
