[Intro]
C Cmaj7 Am/C G/C C Cmaj7 Am/C
G/C C Cmaj7
I remember when baseball was everything
Am/C G/C
It was Little League, but what a big game
Am Dm
There were two men on and one man out
C Cmaj7
I got a fastball hangin' outside
Am/C G/C
I swung that bat with all my might
Am Dm
And the ball was gone, they say I knocked the cover off
F C G
It was the only homer that I ever had, you shoulda seen my dad
[Chorus]
C F
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me as long as I'm holdin' on
C
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me, the devil on a good day ain't that strong
Dm F
I'm keepin' it here inside me as long as I live and breathe
G F
The ball was soarin' and the crowd was roarin'
Em G/D
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
[Inst]
C Cmaj7 Am/C G/C
C Cmaj7
I was nineteen, it was a good job
Am/C G/C
Movin' TVs on a loading dock
Am Dm
'Til the boss said, "Son, try to lose every seventh one
C Cmaj7
I got it worked out with a good friend
Am/C G/C
Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in
Am Dm
Now what do you say, don't you want to be rich one day"
F C G
I lost a real good job that night, but I kept my pride
[Chorus]
C F
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me as long as I'm holdin' on
C
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me, the devil on a good day ain't that strong
Dm F
I'm keepin' it here inside me as long as I live and breathe
G F
I said goodbye with my head held high
Em G/D C
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
[Bridge]
F Em Dm Em
And sometimes it feels like my best years are be hind me
F Em Eb Dm
Then somehow, out of nowhere, something sneaks up to re mind me
C Cmaj7 Am/C G/C
Like this mornin', I woke up to a little voice that spoke up
Am Dm
Sayin', "Daddy, please, fix a bowl of Rice Krispies
F C G
You're the bestest friend that I ever had, you know I love you, Dad"
[Chorus]
C F
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me as long as I'm holdin' on
C
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me, the devil on a good day ain't that strong
Dm F
I'm keepin' it here inside me as long as I live and breathe
G F Em Dm
I got more than I ever asked for and there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
[Outro]
