Kevin Devine - Ballgame 10.27.11 [HD] chords
Start Jamming...
And uh, Sears' Kiss Kiss is merch merch.
[G]
So come [E] come.
[N]
Bye bye.
Yes!
Yes!
One more!
[B] [G#m] Jimmy and Elliot Smith cover!
Yes!
[A] Just play something.
[N]
[A] Woo!
Woo!
That's my favorite, [E] by the way.
[B]
[E] No, no, not this song.
[C#] Like, we played Cotton Crush the other day,
[Cm] and then as soon as it was done, someone went,
Cotton [G] Crush!
[N] It's not quiet.
Not quiet?
[G] Maybe [A] it's [E] for [F#m] [A] Woo!
[E]

[Bm] [E]
[N]
[E] [C#m]
[Am] [E]
In my [A] life,
[E] for anyone [A] [G#m] else.
[E]
And I'm driving away
all the [A] people
[Em] that I [A] could [E] help.
[A] [E] And I still don't even [C#m] know
what I need [A] to do.
To [E] fix myself.
[A] There's [E]
[F#m] [A] [E]
[B] [A] [E]
[A]
a clamp around my chest
that ties my
[E] steps into
another [Em] sorry story.
[A]
That's a miserable collapse,
a [Am] bronze box I keep encased
in glass [Em] and dust off
whenever I'm fishing for pay.
But lately [F] I've had to come to [C#m] grips
with scope and figure how my problems stack up
in a [N] world two steps from ruin.
I do not believe in the rapture,
but either way I [F#m] realize that my troubles
are as [E] small as they could be.
Which [A] makes me feel worse for even feeling this
[E] right in the first place.
Or most days.
[Am] Because they're four wars [Dm] away
than they [C#]
[E] [C#]
even showed me.
And it makes me [D#] sad,
it makes [E] me [F#] really fucking [A] sad.
But at least they [G#m] [A] act.
[C#] [E]
I just bite my [C#] tongue and tell my brother
you [A] wish them luck.
[B] [Em] Or pray [A] that they [E] come back.
[A] [B]
[E] To some god [C#m] I make,
and I used [F#m] to drink those thoughts [Em]
away.
[A] [Em] I got too [A] drunk for [Em] that.
[A] [C#m]
So when you [F#] realize it's a pattern
and not a [G] phase,
it's what you've become
and it's what you [C#m] will stay,
that's ballgame.
No, no.
Yeah, when [A] you [C#m] realize it's a pattern
and it's not a [Em] phase.
It's what [A] you've become
and it's what you will [E] stay.
That's [C#m] ballgame.
Yeah, when [G] you realize it's a pattern
And it's not a phase.
It's what I've become.
It's what I can stay that's [E] about.
Oh, [C#] [G#m] game.
[F#]
[G#] You said, you better get [A] free.
[C#] I say free for what?
[F#m] You [F#] tip a kid by the arm.
And said you pissed away [A] the things you love.
[E] Tattoo.
[C#] You [A]
[G#] [C#m] [B]
went auditioning and answered from [E] basement to basement to basement
[A#] [G#m] In the [Em] back of your mind, oh oh [A] oh
[Em] Hope there's a better one waiting, [F] there's a better one waiting
[N] Just don't come looking for you anymore
Wake up, wake up, you're not done
You [C#]
[E] can fix [F#] yourself [F#m] again, oh oh
And you [N] can learn how to love the way you've wanted to love
Someone who's not yourself for once
Who thinks [Em] something for more than three months doesn't work
