Intro 1
(A minor) (C major) (D major) (E minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
I could have been a contender (A minor)
but my (D major) head wasn't cold (A minor) enough
As a child my wild eyes (D minor) made up for (D major) what I
(A minor) was not (C major) (A minor) (G major) (D major) (D minor) (A minor) (G major) (D major) (D minor) (C major)
(A minor) Now the chains rattle and
(D minor) I (D major) don't even (A minor) care
I'm too young to be sure and
I'm far (D major) too old to be (A minor) scared

Verse 2
(A minor)
By the gun, by the bul (C major) let,
by the trigger, by the times (D major) (D minor)
(C major) I could have been a contender (A minor)
By the last drop of blood (C major) that I
can squeeze from my (D minor) prime
(C major) I'm gonna be a contender (A minor)
(D major) (A minor) (C major)
Verse 3
(A minor) Well if you think it's easy,
you (D major) best come well prepared (A minor)
I live in no man's land,
and you'll (D major) have to kill me (A minor) there
I still (G major) love the taste (D major) of (D minor) sweat (A minor) and I
love the smell (G major) of (D major) blood (D minor)
(A minor) I love the (G major) rattle (D major) in my head, (D minor)
(A minor) I love the fire (G major) in my (D major) lungs
(D minor)
Verse 4
(A minor)
By the gun, by the bullet, (C major)
by the trigger, by the times (D minor)
(C major) I could have been a contender (A minor)
By the last drop of blood (C major) that I
can squeeze from my (D minor) prime
(C major) I'm gonna be a contender (A minor)
Verse 5
You were (A minor) right to be mad about the things
your (G major) mother never taught you
'Cause I was there when
the (D major) upper cut caught you
I was there for the ten (A minor) count
To tell you the truth,
you're better off being (G major) naked with death
You're better off naked (D major) with regret
You're better off make
(A minor) with your truth
I'd still put my money on you,
I'd still put my money (G major) on you
I'd still put my (D major) money on you,
'cause (D minor) kid (D major) you (D minor) got heart (D major)

Verse 6
By the gun, by the bul (C major) let,

By the last drop of blood (C major) that I
can squeeze from my (D minor) prime (D major)
(C major) I'm gonna be (A minor) (C major) (D major) (C major)
(A minor) a (C major) (D minor) (D major) (C major) contender
