Intro:
Gm Eb/Gm

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


F/Cm             Cm7
(Flesh and bone)
Eb      F              Gm
And I'm running out of time,
Cm                 Eb    (F)
(Flesh and bone)


Bb                     F/Cm
Somewhere outside that finish line
                 Cm7                        Eb    (F)
I square up and break through the chains
                 Gm
And I hit like a raging bull
Cm7                     Eb/Cm7           (F)
Anointed by the blood, I take the reins
             Gm           Cm7
Cut from the cloth, of a flag that
                   Eb/Cm7          (F)
Bears the name of "Battle Born"


                    Bb
They'll call me the contender
                 F/Cm
They'll listen for the bell
         Eb
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell

              F
(What are you afraid of?)
                  Bb
And what are you made of?
F/Cm             Cm7
(Flesh and bone)
Eb      F              Gm
And I'm running out of time,
Cm                 Eb    (F)
(Flesh and bone)
                  Bb
And what are you made of?
F/Cm             Cm7
(Flesh and bone)
Eb      F              Gm
Man, I'm turning on a dime,
Cm                 Eb    (F)
(Flesh and bone)

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

Bb F/Cm Cm7 Eb F
Gm Cm Eb F

                  Bb
And what are you made of?
F/Cm             Cm7
(Flesh and bone)
Eb      F              Bb
And I'm running out of time,
Cm                 Eb    (F)
(Flesh and bone)
Bb
What are you made of?

Bb F/Cm Cm7 Eb F
Gm Cm Eb F
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.
