[Intro]
 
Ab Db Ab Db
 
[Verse 1]
 
Ab         Db       Ab            Db
Under the bleachers hiding for an hour
Ab                Db              Ab         Db
Coach is looking for me cause his job is to empower
Bbm           Eb     Ab             Db
I don't wanna go and I won't make a difference
Bbm            Eb     Ab
I don't need a stupid award
Ab              Db    Ab              Db
I'm still in my parka watching condensation
Ab              Db                Ab          Db
I'd be glad to stay here till the end of all creation
Bbm             Eb       Ab            Db
I wish you will cue me, give a little whistle
Bbm          Eb           Ab    F#
Maybe just a wink of your eye
 
[Chorus]
 
B         E                C#m        F#          E
  Cause I can't throw this basketball into my own arms
D#m          G#m              C#m              F#             B
Could you be there for me and tell me that you want me on the team
   E               C#m         F#         E
I can't throw this basketball into my own arms
D#m  G#m        C#m           F#
     Basketball (basketball), Basketball
 
[Verse 2]
 
Ab Db Ab Db
 
Ab             Db      Ab                 Db
I was counting on you, you're the one who gets me
Ab             Db              Ab            Db
When I try my best you shoot a cannon of confetti
Bbm               Eb     Ab                   Db
I've been growing older, you've been growing colder
Bbm              Eb           Ab     F#
But I believe we still have a shot
 
[Chorus]
 
B   E                C#m        F#          E
  I can't throw this basketball into my own arms
D#m          G#m              C#m              F#             B
Could you be there for me and tell me that you want me on the team
   E               C#m         F#         E
I can't throw this basketball into my own arms
D#m  G#m        C#m           F#          G#m
     Basketball (basketball), Basketball
 
[Bridge]
 
G#m       C#m        D#m          G#m
Ooh alley-oop, don't make me go alone
G#m       C#m        D#m          G#m
Ooh alley-oop, don't make me go alone
E           F#          Gdim          G#m
Down to the buzzer, I'm going for the jumper
    G#m       C#m        D#m          E
And ooh alley-oop, don't make me go alone
F#  D#m C#m                                  F#
Oh, oh, over and over and over and over and over
 
[Chorus]
 
                                              E
I can't throw this basketball into my own arms
D#m          G#m              C#m              F#             B
Could you be there for me and tell me that you want me on the team
   E               C#m         F#         E
I can't throw this basketball into my own arms
D#m          G#m         C#m          F#
(Basketball) Basketball (Basketball), Basketball
B            E           C#m         F#
(Basketball) Basketball (Basketball) Basketball
E            D#m         G#m        C#m          F#
(Basketball) Basketball (Basketball) Basketball
 
G#m
              Under the bleachers hiding for an hour
Coach is looking for me ‘cuz his job is to empower
I don’t want to go and I won’t make a difference
I don’t need a stupid award

I’m still in my parka watching condensation
I’d be glad to stay here ’til the end of all creation
I wish you will cue me, give a little whistle
Maybe just a wink of your eyes

I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms
Could you be there for me
And tell me that you want me on the team
I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms
Basketball
Basketball

I was counting on you, you’re the one who gets me
When I try my best, you shoot a cannon of confetti
I’ve been growing older
You’ve been getting colder
But I believe we still have a shot

I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms
Could you be there for me
And tell me that you want me on the team
I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms
Basketball
Basketball

Ooo alley-oop
Don’t make me go alone
Ooo alley-ooop
Don’t make me go alone

Down to the buzzer
I’m going for the jumper
And ooo alley-oop
Don’t make me go alone

Ohh, ohh
Over and over and over, and over, and over
I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms
Could you be there for me
And tell me that you want me on the team
I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms
Basketball
Basketball
