[Intro]dução: Em G C Am
C F#4/B Em
I am so weak and I'm so tired
It's hard for me to
C F#4/B Em
Find enough strength to feed the fires
That fuel my ego
C F#4/B Em
And consequently all my pride has all but died
Which leaves me
C F#4/B
Down on my knees
Am
Back to the place I
Should have started from
{Chorus}
G
Been beat up
F#4/B
Been broken down
Em
Nowhere but up
C
When you're facedown
On the ground
G
I'm in last place
F#4/B
If I place at all
Em C
But there's hope for this underdog!
G F#4/B Em C
That's the way, uh-huh, we like it!
G F#4/B Em
That's the way, uh-huh, we like it!
C G F#4/B Em
You can call me the underdog
C F#4/B Em
I'm in this race to win a prize
The odds against me
C F#4/B Em
The world has plans for my demise
What they don't see
C F#4/B Em G
Is that a winner is not judged by his small size
C F#4/B Am
But by the substitute he picks to run the race
And mine's already won
