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

CLook (x32010@1)what you've done, look what you've done,
            Fmaj7what (1x3210@1)do you have now?
CThings (x32010@1)that never come, I'm laying here in a dead-end room (best lyric guess)
              Fmaj7Is (1x3210@1)it time to come down?

Chorus:
       GAt (320003@1)the back of a crowded scene

You saw the boys in white sing
       Fmaj7"I'm (1x3210@1)a pretender"
                                     CBut (x32010@1)you never were, you never were a contender
  Fmaj7
A contender


Verse 2:
CI (x32010@1)heard your same old tune, singing city sins
                  Fmaj7Like (1x3210@1)you were the first one.
CGave (x32010@1)up books for film, gave up film for time
                Fmaj7Now (1x3210@1)that you've got none.


Chorus:
       GAt (320003@1)the back of a crowded scene

You saw the boys in white sing
       Fmaj7"I'm (1x3210@1)a pretender"
                                     CBut (x32010@1)you never were, you never were a contender
  Fmaj7
