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
