Tom: C

F         G     C                                              
bottom of ninth inning
F            G                    C                            
and we drive straight through the crowd
F            G           C                                     
first it was what I call quiet
F           G          C                                       
then it was biblically loud


[Verse 2]                                                        
F               G             C                                
you should have seen how they tumbled!
F               G             C                                
you should have seen how they danced!
F               G             C           F                     
you should have seen them all lucious and lean
                    G             C                           
as they flew by the seat of their pants


[Verse 3]
   F           G            C  
It was not the boilin' frustration
   F              G           C  
It was not that I cannot care less
   F           G            C        F
It was not the face of that reverent place
              G          C  
In a horrible state of undress


[Verse 4]
  F          G          C                                                            
I moved in a way I call mindless
  F           G           C                                                            
I flattered myself a move true
  F            G         C          F                                                  
I carved out a J in the spectators fray
          G            C                                                            
because that's just a thing that we do
       F             G            C            F                                                
yeah I carved out my name in the ninth of the game
         G            C             F                                               
because that's just a thing that we do
