_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] Now that she's older, is the Emerson [C#] romance,
Faking mortgages and leaky bills,
Been come to Berlin that nobody told her,
That she'd ever reach the stage,
[Bm] Where a husband bought her,
Or she lied about her age,
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
He's compromising,
_ At least he's got a job for life,
Get born, get school, get drunk, get car, pay taxes,
I know [Bm] why, but I might know,
_ It ain't come too soon,
[Em] If you're not living on the edge,
You take it too [B] true,
I could have been a contender,
I could have been a someone,
[E] I could have been the right race,
I'm feeling like [A] an old waltz,
[Bm] Living in the papers,
Money and the girl,
I [E] could have been the heavyweight,
Champion of the world,
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As foolish to dream about being Bruce Lee,
With the knee-pitch ups on a manner tough,
Been all out racy,
And so he gave up,
_ On his black belt in first down,
As near as he got to China,
Was [E] freaky, down the sound,
[Bm] I could have been a contender,
I could have been a someone,
[Em] I could have been the right race,
[G] I'm feeling like [E] an old waltz,
[B] Living in the papers,
Money and the girl,
I [E] could have been the heavyweight,
[F#m] Champion of the world,
I could [B] have been a contender,
I could have been a someone,
[E] I could have been the right race,
I'm feeling like an old [Bm] waltz,
Living in the papers,
Money and the girl,
I could [E] have been the heavyweight,
Champion of the world,
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ It's _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] boring, it's boring,
It might put you to sleep,
It's a single routine,
Repeating week after week,
And you have got to work [Bm] harder,
You're told that you must,
[E] And you must earn a living,
[Bm] And you must earn a crust,
And be like everybody else,
Be like everybody else,
[E] Be like everybody else,
Just be like everybody else,
[Bm] Be like everybody else,
Just be like everybody else,
[E] Be like everybody else,
Just be like everybody else,
[Bm] Be like everybody else,
Be like everybody _ [E] _ _ else
Be like everybody [A] else
Be [Bm] _ _ _ like _ _
_ [E] _ everybody else
[Bm] Be like everybody else
I could've been a contender
I could've been the one
[E] my love be the right race
I'm feeling like an over
[Bm] _ billioning in papers
but whatever girls
[E] I'm bold and lightweight
[F#m] Champion of the World
I [Bm] could've been a contender
I could've been the one
[E] my love be the right race
I'm feeling like an over
[Bm] _ billioning in papers
but whatever girls
I'm bold and [F#m] lightweight
Champion of the World
