[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D D/C#
I remember sittin' at that house
Bm
Livin' room couch
G D
Thinkin' no way them boys wouldn't win
D/C# Bm
Between them big three pitches, Andruw and Chipper
G D
It's gonna be hard to keep up with the Jones's
D/C# Bm
But as fate would have it, that Atlanta magic
G D
Got put out by them damn Padres
D/C# Bm
I guess destiny ain't always meant to be
G D
Kinda like you and me that day
[Chorus]
D/C# Bm
We got close, but close doesn't cut it
G D
Had a good run, to end up with nothin'
D/C# Bm
But a 3x5 that you hide in a drawer
G D
We swung for the fences and came up short
D/C# Bm
Yeah, you win some, you lose some, it ain't always home runs
G D
And that's just the way life plays
D/C# Bm
If we were a team, and love was a game
G D
We would've been the '98 Braves
[Instrumental]
| D D/C# | Bm | G | D | 2x
[Verse 2]
D D/C#
Had that whole town believin'
Bm G D
Damn, girl, I even had that talk to your dad, man to man
D/C#
But just like that season
Bm G D
Girl, you and me didn't end with a ring on a hand
[Chorus]
D/C# Bm
We got close, but close doesn't cut it
G D
Had a good run, to end up with nothin'
D/C# Bm
But a 3x5 that you hide in a drawer
G D
We swung for the fences and came up short
D/C# Bm
Yeah, you win some, you lose some, it ain't always home runs
G D
And that's just the way life plays
D/C# Bm
If we were a team, and love was a game
G D
We would've been the '98 Braves, '98 Braves
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
D D/C# Bm
You win some, you lose some, it ain't always home runs
G D
And that's just the way life plays
D/C# Bm
If we were a team, and love was a game
G D
We would've been the '98 Braves
D/C# Bm
If we were a team, and love was a game
G D D/C# Bm
We would've been the '98 Braves, '98 Braves
G D D/C# Bm
Oh, yeah, girl, we would've been the '98 Braves, '98 Braves
G D
We would've been the '98 Braves
