[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
Eighth [D]grade,
Away football game
There's a chill in the air,
Mouthpieces [G]and Gatorade
My girlfriend's a cheerleader,
I'm infatuated with the [A]girl

[Verse 2]
With the game
[G]
[D]My shoulderpads are too small,
My helmet's way too [G]big
[D]My uniform's too clean,
I haven't touched the ball
[G]She's watching me again, O God
Please make the [A]coach put me in

[Verse 3]
[A]I know [G]wha[D]t it feels
[G]lik[D]e to be second str[A]ing
I [G]know [D]what it feels lik[G]e
[D]to just sit on [A]the bench
And watch your friends play,
and wonder why you're [Bm]even on [G]the team
I [A]know second string

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
First date, [D]I just got my driver's l[G]icense
[D]There's fog on the road,
we're lost and really late
Driv[G]ing Mama's car,
the wrong way on an ex[A]it ramp

[Verse 5]
I [G]know [D]what it feels lik[G]e to [D]be second string[A]
I [G]know [D]what it feels [G]like
[D]to just sit on [A]the bench
And watch your friends play,
and wonder why you're [Bm]even on [G]the team
I [A]know second string

[Verse 6]
Long time [D]ago,
there was a shepherd boy
He tended his sheep,
he was of Jesse's line
There [G]was a war going on,
when he got drafted by the [A]Lord[G]
[D]His shoulder bones were too small,
his suit of armor to [G]big
His [D]sword was way too heavy,
still he heeded the call
[G]Armed with his faith,
five stones and [A]a sling shot

[Verse 7]
I [G]know [D]what it fee[G]ls lik[D]e to be second str[A]ing
I [G]know [D]what it feels [G]like
[D]to just sit on [A]the bench
And watch your friends play,
[G]and [D]won[G]der why[D][A]
you're [G]even [D]on[G][D][A]
[Bm]the [G]team[A]
I [D]know second string
