lyrics

Key of Am

Verse 1:
Am
If you live in an urban place
C D
So dense, high pace
Am
You might find comfort in a place
C D
That’s called the paint

Chorus:
F
I’m not speaking of Monet
C G F
Meet me at the school lot
C G Am
We’ll shoot the shit and take shots
C D
I’ve got the gall, to heed the call
F E Am
Of basketball

Verse 2:
Am
Have you seen the crowd on hockey night?
C D
Same colour as the ice
Am
But b-ball is a time when different groups
C D
Share the same hoop
F
And the dream of alley-oops

Chorus 2:
C G F
No pads just socks and shoes
C G Am
Not body checks just cool moves
C D
Lend a haul, when someone falls
F E Am
In basketball

Solo:
Am C D F E (x2)

Bridge (G):
G D A G
When the Raptors made the playoffs
D A Bm
I was going through a break-up
D E
You were a reason not to bawl
G F# G
Basketball
D A G
And when I saw Drizzy sittin’ courtside
D A Bm
Lint rollin’ with those sad eyes
D A
I knew we both found a soap called
G F# Bm
Basketball

Outro:
Bm D E G F# (x2)
Oh, basketball
