Gm
I’ve gone through life white knuckle
In the moments that left me behind
             D#
Refusing to heed the yield
I penetrate the force field in the blind
                Cm
They say I’ll adjust And God knows that
I must but I’m not sure how
                A#                      D#
This natural selection Picked me out to be
   F
A dark horse running in a

Chorus:
 A#        F           Cm
Fantasy (Flesh and Bone)
D#       F              Gm
And I’m running out of time
  D#           Cm D# F
(Flesh and Bone)

 A#                     F
Somewhere outside that finish line
                  Cm                    D#
I square up and break through the chains
   F           Gm           D#
I head like a raging bull anointed
                Cm          D#
by the blood I take the reins
 F            Gm           D#
Cut from the cloth of the flag
                      Cm        D#
that bears the name, Battle Born

       F              A#                        Cm
Don't call me the contender now listen for the bell
         F                              D#
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell
                F
What are you afraid of?

Chorus:
And what are you made of (Flesh and Bone)
And I’m running out of time (Flesh and Bone)
And what are you made of (Flesh and bone)
And I’m turning on a dime (Flesh and Bone)

  Cm                          D#
This could decay This could decay
                  Gm                 F
Like the valley below, defences are down
            Cm             D#
Stakes are high, Fairytale end
            Gm               F
Staggering blow, Let it be chin
This could be real, Simple

Chorus:
And what are you made of (Flesh and Bone)
And I’m running out of time (Flesh and Bone)
What are you made of?

He faces forward
Trading in his blindness for the glow of love
And time is raging, may it rage in vain
And you always had it, but you never knew
So boots and saddles, get on your feet
There's no surrender, cause there's no retreat
The bells are sobbing, in this monster land
We are the descendants of giant men
