Verse:
E
Trying against the odds, you're in a trance
     A                                   E
Say, who did you think you are to have a chance?
         A            G                D
You're a no one from a place where everyone
           G                                        A
Knows your face, the come and go, way they know the sun
                                          E
So you better hang on and hey, you better run

Verse 2:
E
Down in a hole
     A                                   E
You feel like two different people in your soul
            A               G               D
Feel like a loser until you see that as you bend
                              A
You learn to be your own best friend
                                E
And you learn how and you learn when
          C               D          A
To take a chance on the spirit of the wind

E
Babe, ain't we been down
           A                                     E
We been so broke and we been so low I kissed the ground
            A                                D
But you can see yourself a winner beyond the money and the greed
                                    A
Beyond the pride is a pure untested need
                                       E    Em
To be a champion is more than luck and speed
     C         D                            A
It's power and freedom in the spirit of the wind
