Jimmy Barnes
"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]

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)
