The Outfield

	  		 
Intro 

                     E    B 
Come on, get up and go 
                  C#m 
Another true story 
                  A 
(Another true story) 

verse 1 

E                        C#m 
Running through airports 
                     A 
Waiting at stations 
                      B 
Hoping you'd be there 
                            E 
Wanting to tell you my name 
                     C#m 
Hoping you'd see me 
                      A 
Stuck in the outfield 
                    B 
Hoping you'd notice 

And you know who I am now 

Bridge 

G#          A            E         B 
All of my issues were dragging me down 
G#         A       E           B 
I always wanted to be someone else 

Now we both say 
 

E                               B 
We were the young and hopeless 
                         C#m 
We were the broken youth 
                              A 
You're not the only one they used 

I was in the outfield too 
E                           B 
Somehow we found redemption 
                             C#m 
We felt the love that's true 
                           A 
My life was leading me to you 

I was in the outfield too 


verse 2 

E                            C#m 
I was thinking about school 
                          A 
It was so fucking painful 
                                  B 
My parents were both such a wreck 
                             E 
I needed to lean on a friend 
                             C#m 
And you were stuck out there 
                         A 
Somewhere in California  
                       B 
And I was day dreaming 

About falling asleep next to 

Bridge 

G#           A             E         B 
You help me face all the darkness in me 
G#               A            E         B 
You shined your light in the spaces between 

Now we both say 


E                              B 
We were the young and hopeless 
                         C#m 
We were the broken youth 
                              A 
You're not the only one they used 
                       
I was in the outfield too 
E                           B 
Somehow we found redemption 
                             C#m 
We felt the love that's true 
                           A 
My life was leading me to you 

I was in the outfield too 


Break 

C#m                   A  
Whatcha say, whatcha say, we can leave  
         E               B 
Just to give it all and live forever 
C#m            A       
Runaway, runaway, we can go 
         E                 B 
We can drive to somewhere new 
C#m                 A 
If you say, if you say, would you stay?  
          E                B 
I don't mind as long as we're together 
C#m                      A 
So whatcha say, whatcha say, will you stay? 
         E                  B 
Come on tell me that we'll live forever 
             
Tell me that we'll live forever 


E                              B 
We were the young and hopeless 
                         C#m 
We were the broken youth 
                              A 
You're not the only one they used

You're not the only one they used 

I was in the outfield too 
E                           B 
Somehow we found redemption 
                             C#m 
We felt the love that's true 
                           A 
My life was leading me to you
