D 

[Verse 1]
D                               G                            D
We've come down the homestrech and we're living on borrowed time
D                                G                             D
We hit a rough skid into August and we're more than a little behind
 G                                                         D
We've already played a hundred, there's still sixty-two to go
    D                  G                 D
And April to October, it's a long, long road

[Verse 2]
D                          G                       D
Lately I've been slumpin' but skip says I'm doing fine
D                                          G                              D
You gotta wait for your swing to find you and just keep on guarding that line
     G                                                          D
You gotta good set of legs below you and a glove made of solid gold
                     G                   D
And April to October, it's a long, long road

[Chorus]
G            A                   D
And the baseline belongs to the runner
G        A                     D
A fair ball don't always seem fair
G            A          Bm
Just give me a team of sluggers
                G                  A
And our chance begins, our chance begins

[Verse 3]
D                                 G                      D
We're right back in the hunt now, it's down to one last game
                               G                   D
It's two and two with one out and I'm ninety feet away
          G                                                    D
If this southpaw doesn't watch me I'll be headed straight for home
                          G                    D
Tell him April to October, it's a long, long road
                      G                    D
Yeah April to October, it's a long, long road

[Chorus]
G            A                   D   
And the baseline belongs to the runner
G        A                     D
A fair ball don't always seem fair
G            A          Bm
Just give me a team of sluggers
               G                  A         D     
And our chance begins, our chance begins
