The Underdog

F C G C X 2

[Verse 1]
          C
Don't you ever let this world push you around
          Am
Use your head and keep your feet, firmly on the ground
     F
And if you get knocked down
                     G   Gsus4 Gsus2
Get back up and try again
               C
And don't you ever lose that sparkle in your eyes
        Am
Don't bottle up your passion, like a jar of fireflies
 F
If you ever lose sight of your light
                         G  Gsus4 Gsus2
And you feel like givin' in

[Chorus]
           C
Don't you forget your faith in God above
           Am                           G
Don't you forget your mom and daddy's love
          F                            Am
When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
             Dm               G             F
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog

[Verse 2]
       C
Don't buy a thing unless you can pay in cash
     Am
Go ahead and throw those credit cards in the trash
Continues after the ad
   F
Love is a virtue, honesty is the key
           G
Say your prayers, brush your teeth, don't you watch too much TV
           C
If you're down in the count one strike away
      Am
Choke up and crowd the plate and put the ball in play
           F
Keep your nose down when you win
                           G  Gsus4
Keep your head up when you lose
                 Gsus2
And you're gonna lose


[Chorus]
           C
Don't you forget your faith in God above
           Am                           G
Don't you forget your mom and daddy's love
          F                            Am
When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
            Dm                G             F
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog

[Bridge]
      Am              C
And there will come a day
     F            G
When I will fly away
           Am                 C
So make me smile while we're apart
           G                                             F
You gotta sing from you soul, and play with all of your heart

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
          C
There's a good chance your heart will break in two
           Am
Trust that God has someone special planned for you
        F
Did you know I was down on love and luck
                         G Gsus4 Gsus2
When he sent your mom to me?
    C
Someday you'll have babies of your own
    Am
So cherish every moment, you're gonna blink and they'll be grown
             F
The greatest honor that I've ever had
          G
Is having you call me your dad


[Chorus 2]
           F                         C
Boys don't forget your faith in God above
           Am                           G
Don't you forget your mom and daddy's love
         F                             Am
When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
             F                G                  C
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
         F                             Am
When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
            Dm               G              F
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
