Contender

A
You coulda been a contender I never 
said that before
           D         E
You were a bit of a cunt
           D         E
Boy did you have some front
       D         E         A
something about you for sure

A
You thought the world revolved 
around you, you got to big for your 
boots
     D         E
self belief is ok
     D         E
but ego came out to play
         D         E         A
you starting forgetting your roots

[pre chorous]
D                     A
Your bitterness is on show for all 
to see
D                             E
you can take my name in vain it 
doesn't bother me

[chorus]
A
what have you got? is that your best
 shot?
D                  E             
you think you're a man but you're
   A
 a tart
A
But we both know that you're a no 
show
D                      E          
Cos you haven't got the bottle or 
A
heart

A
You're still flogging your story to 
anyone who'll pay
D           E
How can you be
D         E
Seen with me
D             E          A
wouldn't suit you anyway
A
Your new crowd is turning against 
you, it was bound to happen in the 
end
D              E
You chased the wealth
D              E
You can't help yourself
D         E                    A
You just yourself another friend

A
hows that chip on your shoulder you 
still hanging round in dives?
D         E
talking shit
D                 E
but it don't matter a bit
D               E                A
