2Well, I remember every little thing
                       G2
3as if it happened only yesterday
C3
4Parking by the lake,
              G4                  D5
5and there was not another car in sight

7And I never had a girl,
                        G6
8looking any better than you did
            F#7
9And all the kids at school,

            A#11         F12     C13         D14
13And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
         A#15      F16              C17       D18
14It never felt so good, it never felt so right
          G19                D20            A21         D22
15And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
          G23                D24            A25         D26
16And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

88Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
89going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
90bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
91there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
92at him go. This boy can really fly!
93He's rounding first and really turning it on
94now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
95try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
96and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
97He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
98No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
99makes things happen out there.
100Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
101he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
102for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
103safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
104He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
105daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
106glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
107down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
108Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
109here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
110holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!
