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
