Flesh And Bone

	  		Intro: Gm Eb/G  

Gm  
I've gone through life white-knuckled  
In the moments that left me behind  
Eb/G  
Refusing to heed the yield  
I penetrate the force fields in the blind  
C/Ab  
They say I'll adjust  
(F) (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/C             Cm7  
(Flesh and bone)  
Eb      F              Gm  
And I'm running out of time,  
Cm                 Eb    (F)  
(Flesh and bone)  


Bb                     F/C  
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/C           (F)  
Anointed by the blood, I take the reins  
             Gm           Cm7  
Cut from the cloth, of a flag that  
                   Eb/C          (F)  
Bears the name of "Battle Born"  


                    Bb  
They'll call me the contender  
                 F/C  
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/C             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/C             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

(Flesh and bone)  
Eb      F              Bb  
And I'm running out of time,

Bb  
What are you made of?

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.
