Step up to the plate to play the game

And that's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone

F Em

And I know that you'll never make it on your own

Chorus:

Am G

I know you'll never get it right

You only take it so far then leave it all behind

Am G

So tonight I'm making up my mind

C F

Before we take this too far and leave it all behind

Verse 2:

So rise up to the occasion

'Cause you're all excuse with no explaination

F Em

You've got minor details filling major gaps in your memory

So just trace your footsteps back to where this all started

Before you got yourself broken hearted

Now just keep your head down

'Cause you'll never figure it out

(Repeat Chorus)
