[Verse 1]
I'm at the ball game
It is a Saturday
Popcorn on my shoes
Out on the warning track
Watching the dogs sing
Police dog blues
[Chorus]
It's a fool's game
It's a fool's game (I'm furious)
[Post-Chorus]
A lover takes a page
And everything's amazing
It's not so hard to lose
It's not so hard to lose
Waiting on the rain delay
Just give me a chance
[Verse 2]
I'm not my father by the campfire
Preview
And for the record
I can't find my shoes
[Verse 3]
Maybe it's here
You pull me up
Every time we break
And I can't talk
It's really not up
To me to
[Pre-Chorus]
Just give me a chance
Givе me a chance
[Chorus]
It's a fool's game (I'm furious)
It's a fool's gamе (I'm furious)
[Post-Chorus]
A lover takes a page
And everything's amazing
It's not so hard to lose
It's not so hard to lose
Waiting on the rain delay
Just give me a chance
Just give me a chance
[Verse 4]
Funny how we go so far
Gonna get some coffee
By myself
Is it a moment?
There's no limit
I'm not even in it
Better dead than read
I'm getting wet now
By myself
[Bridge]
Here comes the chorus
You wanna hear the chorus?
Let all the children sing
[Chorus]
(Police dog blues)
It's a fool's game (I'm furious, furious)
It's a fool's game (I'm furious, so furious)
It's a fool's game
[Outro]
Waiting on the rain delay
It's not so hard to lose
It's not so hard to lose
Time the cheek

It was deceptiv...
