Bon Jovi - The Fighter: chords

           F#
I should write down these words before I lose them
Or write you a song just to use them
     B           F#     B       F#
Someday you may wanna know who I am,
  B            F#         B         F#
Beyond this facade no guitar in my hand
   B     C#     F#
No I am not a writer

These eyes hold no secrets I hide no truths
I am all I am, all I was to you
The lie and the promise,
the great escape artist
The weed in your garden
in that place you’re still guarding
Where I am not a liar

Chorus:
          B  F#    B                    F#
I am the fighter though not a boxer by trade
          B  F#   C#                   F#
I am the fighter few will remember my name

These are hands that can offer protection
But hid me from my own reflection
I’m that book that ain’t finished,
a sink full of dishes
The horse that ain’t winning,
the priest that’s still sinning
The spark that starts the fire

Chorus

      B                     F#
With loneliness next to me feels its misery
 C#                   F#
nursing another black eye
        D#m                 G#
On the New Jersey turnpike counting the headlights
       B                          C#
Those cars just like days pass me by

Chorus:
I am the fighter though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter few will remember my name
I am the fighter though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter a fighters born but not made

I should write down these words ‘fore I lose them
Or write you a song just to use them
