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
 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

 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

 Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige

 The ground just opened wide and ate me whole

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