"No Second Prize"
Words and Music Jimmy Barnes
 
[Intro]
   G     Em    C    D
   G     Em    C    D
Oh yeah,
 
[Verse]
G                                Em
  Heard about a person who had a broken heart
                C                                 D       Dsus4   D
with nothing to drive him on, no hope no spark no flame,
G                                       Em
 He couldnt see at all, tears they were blinding him
               C                                 D     Dsus4  D
And he kept it all inside, the guilt and all the pain
 
[Bridge]
Cadd9                       D
  You know I say I tried to warn him
Cadd9                                D
  They had him backed up against the wall,  I hope I'm not too late
 
[Chorus]
G                                           Em
  No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
              C                                        D       Dsus4   D
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
G                                   Em
  It may be hard, but oooh it's the only way
         C                               D
Always remembering there ain't no second prize, There aint no second prize
 
[Instrumental]
G    Em    C    D
 
[Bridge]
Cadd9                       D
  You know I say I tried to warn him
Cadd9                                D
  They had him backed up against the wall
Cadd9                             D
  Why can't I stand up and try to tell him
Cadd9                               D
  They got me backed up against the wall,  I hope I'm not to late
 
[Chorus]
G                                           Em
  No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
              C                                        D
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
G                                   Em
  It may be hard, but oooh it's the only way
         C                               D
Always remembering there ain't no second prize, There aint no second prize
 
[Lead Break]
G    Em    C    D
G    Em    C    D
G    Em    C    D
G    Em    C    D
 
[Outro]
G                             Em
  Oh no there ain't no second prize (no there's no second prize)
C                             D
  Oh no there ain't no second prize (there's ain't no second prize)
G                             Em
  Oh no there ain't no second prize (you've got the second prize)
C                             D
  Oh no there ain't no second prize (no no there's no second prize)

I heard about a person who had a broken heart With nothing to drive him on, no hope no spark no flame He couldn't see at all tears they were blinding him He kept it all inside, the guilt and all the pain You know I say I tried to warn him They had him backed up against the wall I hope I'm not too late
