[Verse]
       Gm      Bb         C   F          Gm        Bb
It's a war out there everyday, you can't hide from it
          C           F              Gm
You gotta play by the rules, play it cool
      Bb           C           F      Gm
Gotta laugh in the face of the sad disgrace
          Bb          C          F
When your friends and foes look alike

       Gm       Bb
On the face of it
       C           F
They missed their history
Gm       Bb    C    F           Gm Bb
But they fight over place in it
          C    F   Gm   Bb         C F
Yeah they fight,   over place in it

[Prechorus]
         Gm       Bb  C
Hard-hit by the times
            F        Gm   Bb       C
That's just how your life goes by
            F          Gm           Bb  C
I know it's not your fault, you say
          F        Gm Bb      C
But there ain't no o-ther way

[Chorus]
F   Eb                Dm    Gm           Cm
So, step on up to the plate,   meet your fate
        F                    Bb
Walkin' straight on into the lion's lair
Eb                    Dm   Gm            Cm
Step on up, up to the plate, 'cause this ain't no game
F7
It's time to make history, yeah!
