Pete Rose And Babe Ruth

	  		
Intro: A 


A 
 I'll tell you how it went 
A 
 And all the time we spent 
           D 
 Trying to make something of us 
              C#m            D 
 Something we knew but never was 
A 
 Laid faced down on the bed 
A 
 And spoke in tongues with the dead 
               D 
 The times you saw me lose my cool 
                 C#m                   D 
 The stares were blank, the words were cruel 


D                                        E 
 But what if I was the problem the whole time? 
                  A 
 Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige 
                                        D 
 The ground just opened wide and ate me whole 
D                        E 
 Why am I so happy I could die? 
               A 
 There were no words to say goodbye 
                                         D 
 The ground just opened wide and ate you whole 


A 



A 
 Figured they'd figure out soon 
A 
 They'd never put a man on the moon 
     D 
 And no one knows the truth 
      C#m           D 
 Pete Rose and Babe Ruth 
A 
 What if you got there to see 
A 
 That it's not what you believed? 
             D 
 No blinding lights or smiling teeth 
                       C#m 
 I'd tell you you were wrong all along 
       D 
 You'd tell me that you hate me 


D                                        E 
 But what if I was the problem the whole time? 
                  A 
 Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige 
                                        D 
 The ground just opened wide and ate me whole 
D                        E 
 Why am I so happy I could die? 
               A 
 There were no words to say goodbye 
                                         D 
 The ground just opened wide and ate you whole 


D                           E 
 I'm always looking for the answers and wondering why 
     A                              G#m 
 The rules were ever made for us if we never abide 
D                           E

 Well, here were no words to say goodbye 
         A                         D 
 And the ground just opened wide
