Intro:
G5 Eb5

G5
I've gone through life white-knuckled
In the moments that left me behind
Eb5
Refusing to heed the yield
I penetrate the force fields in the blind
C5
They say I'll adjust
( C5 ) ( C5 )
God knows I must
But I'm not sure how
               Bb5                    C5
This natural selection picked me out to be
  Eb5                       Bb5
A dark horse running in a fantasy


F5             C5
(Flesh and bone)
Eb5      F5              G5
And I'm running out of time,
C5                 Eb5    ( F5 )
(Flesh and bone)


Bb5                     F5
Somewhere outside that finish line
                 C5                        Eb5    ( F5 )
I square up and break through the chains
                 G5
And I hit like a raging bull
C5                     Eb5           ( F5 )
Anointed by the blood, I take the reins
             G5           C5
Cut from the cloth, of a flag that
                   Eb5          ( F5 )
Bears the name of "Battle Born"


                    Bb5
They'll call me the contender
                 F5
They'll listen for the bell
         Eb5
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell

              F5
(What are you afraid of?)
                  Bb5
And what are you made of?
F5             C5
(Flesh and bone)
Eb5      F5              G5
And I'm running out of time,
C5                 Eb5    ( F5 )
(Flesh and bone)
                  Bb5
And what are you made of?
F5             C5
(Flesh and bone)
Eb5      F5              G5
Man, I'm turning on a dime,
C5                 Eb5    ( F5 )
(Flesh and bone)

C5
(This could decay)
Eb5
This could decay
G5
Like the valley below
F5
Defences are down
C5
The stakes are high
(Scouting the crowd for a face of compassion)
Eb5
The fairytale end
(To face off the journey that fathers no more)
G5
The staggering blow
(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)
F5
You lead with your chin
(Thinkin' with your corners, just a compass and the sun)
F5
This could be real
(Thinkin' with your corners, just a)
Simple

And what are you made of?

What are you made of?

G5 C5 Eb5 F5
repeat for outro

He faces forward,
Trading in his blindness for the world of love,
And time is raging, may it rage in vain,
And you always had it, but you never knew,
So boots and saddles, get on your feet,
There's no surrender, cause there's no retreat,
The bells are sounding, bring this match to an end,
We are the descendents of giant men.
