[Verse 1]

Ab Db Ab Db
Under the bleachers hiding for an hour
Ab Db Ab Db
Coach is looking for me cause his job is to empower
Bbm Eb Ab Db
I don’t wanna go and I won’t make a difference
Bbm Eb Ab
I don’t need a stupid award
Ab Db Ab Db
I’m still in my parka watching condensation
Ab Db Ab Db
I’d be glad to stay here till the end of all creation
Bbm Eb Ab Db
I wish you will cue me, give a little whistle
Bbm Eb Ab F#
Maybe just a wink of your eye

[Chorus]

B E C#m F# E
Cause I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms

Ab Db Ab Db
I was counting on you, you’re the one who gets me
Ab Db Ab Db
When I try my best you shoot a cannon of confetti

I’ve been growing older, you’ve been growing colder
Bbm Eb Ab F#
But I believe we still have a shot
