Contender Chords

(ver. 1)
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
The Pains of Being Pure At Heart
“Contender”

One line of the lyrics in the first verse wasn’t included in their lyric press release 
I had to do my best to guess at it. As for the chords they should be pretty accurate for 
solo instrumentalist.

Capo 2

Intro:
C  Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

C
Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done,
            Fmaj7
what do you have now?
C
Things that never come, I’m laying here in a dead-end room (best lyric guess)
              Fmaj7
Is it time to come down?

Chorus:
       G
At the back of a crowded scene

You saw the boys in white sing
       Fmaj7
“I’m a pretender”
                                     C
But you never were, you never were a contender
  Fmaj7
A contender


Verse 2:
C
I heard your same old tune, singing city sins
                  Fmaj7
Like you were the first one.
C
Gave up books for film, gave up film for time
                Fmaj7
Now that you’ve got none.


Chorus:
       G
At the back of a crowded scene

You saw the boys in white sing
       Fmaj7
“I’m a pretender”
                                     C
But you never were, you never were a contender
  Fmaj7
A contender
