I Once Was A Contender chords by Kate Vargas

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 2nd
  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Verse 1:
Am                  Am
It's a good day for grieving
B7           E7
Or reading a book
Am                        Am
Or writhing around on the kitchen floor
              B7                       E7
Getting strung out to the sounds of Sam Cook

Am                   Am
It's a fine time for screaming
B7          E7
Or paper mache
Am                           Am
But lately I've found myself much more inclined
         B7                  E7
to throw knives at the empty space



Chorus:
           F         C
Remember me with the lights off
G            B7
Remember me, please, in the neon
F          C              G         B7
Kiss, kiss, dripping with enviable splendor
        F         C          G                B7
Made to be on the big screen Your former Miss Quay County Fair Queen
F          C          G     B7
Remеmber I once was a contendеr


Verse 2:
Am                Am
Yes, I nailed the train
B7                E7
The old smile and blush
Am                                    Am
Like when dad punched the wall and Ma covered the hole
       B7         E7
with a terracotta jesus

Am               Am
Go shoot for the stars, baby
B7             E7
but follow the plot
Am                      Am
Future so bright that I covered my eyes and set
B7               E7
fire to the very thought


Chorus:
           F         C
Remember me with the lights off
G            B7
Remember me, please, in the neon
F          C              G         B7
Kiss, kiss, dripping with enviable splendor
        F         C          G                B7
Made to be on the big screen Your former Miss Quay County Fair Queen
F          C          G     E7
Remеmber I once was a contendеr

           F         C
Remember me with the lights off
G            B7
Remember me, please, in the neon
F          C              G         B7
Kiss, kiss, dripping with enviable splendor
        F         C          G                B7
Made to be on the big screen Your former Miss Quay County Fair Queen
F          C          G     E7
Remеmber I once was a contendеr
