[D][Dm][D][Dm][D]
[Dm][D][Dm][D][Dm][D][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]That
Friday night seemed [Dm]just like any other
Friday [D]night,Jimmy wasn't gonna play.
Sitting on the bench chomping at the [Dm]bit,
knowing he was better.
5'6", going [D]on six eight.
A man went [Dm]down, [F]Jimmy went in:
[G]Third an' long, [Csus2]first an' ten[C].
[Dm]Crowd [D]went [F]wild: "Touchdown."
[G]Jimmy said: "I came [Dm]to win."

[Verse 2]
If you're gonna [G]go, go all the way.
If you're gonna stay,
stand your ground.
If you can't [D]run with the big dogs,
Big dog,Let me walk you out.
If you can't [A]lead, let me by you.
If you won't [G]follow,
get out the way:
You're [F]taking up [D]space.[Dm][D][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Shelly had her Daddy's
[Dm]money waiting,
All she [D]had to do was share his chair.
She had a dream that he
didn't want her chasing
She was a [Dm]night- school [D]million[C]aire.
She [D]worked two jobs to [F]pay her way:
[G]Stayed up late to [Csus2]make the [C]grade.
[D]Graduated, [F]Summa Cum [G]Laude.
[Dm]PhD [D]the hard way.
[A]If you're gonna

[Verse 4]
[G]go, go all the way.
If you're gonna stay, stand your ground.
If you can't [D]run with the big dogs,
Big Dog, Let me walk you [A]out.
[D]If you can't [A]lead, let me by you.
If you won't [G]follow,
get out the way:
You're [F]taking up [D]space.[G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Life's too short [G]to live in [C]caution.
[Dm]Life's too [C]long [Csus2]not to[G]
live it [Bb]all.[Csus2]
[Dm]

[Verse 6]
Oh, if you're gonna [G]go, go all the way.
If you're gonna stay, stand your ground.
[C]If you can't [Dm]run w[D]ith the big dogs,
Big Dog,Let me walk you [A]out.
If you can't lead, let me by you.
If you won't [G]follow,
get out the way:
You're [F]taking up [Dm]space.[D][Dm]
Oh, you're taking up space.
[D][Dm][F][Dm]
