Contender Chords

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.

C
Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done,

I heard your same old tune, singing city sins

Gave up books for film, gave up film for time

Now that you’ve got none.
