# Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor, 1982
[Am]Risin' up, [F]back on the street
[G]Did my time, took my [Am]chances
[Am]Went the distance, now I'm [F]back on my feet
Just a [G]man and his will to sur[Am]vive.

[Am]So many times, it [F]happens too fast
[G]You trade your passion for [Am]glory.
[Am]Don't lose your grip on the [F]dreams of the past,
You must [G]fight just to keep them [Am]alive.

Chorus
It's the [Dm]eye of the tiger, it's the [C]thrill of the [G]fight,
Risin' [Dm]up to the challenge of our [C]rival, [G]
And the [Dm]last known survivor stalks his [C]prey in the [G]night,
And he's [Dm]watching us [C]all with the [F]eye of the [Am]tiger.

[Am]Face to face, [F]out in the heat
[G]hanging tough, staying [Am]hungry.
[Am]They stack the odds, still we [F]take to the street
For the [G]kill with the skill to sur[Am]vive

Chorus

[Am]Risin' up, [F]straight to the top
[G] Had the guts, got the [Am]glory
[Am]Went the distance, now I'm [F]not gonna stop
Just a [G]man and his will to sur[Am]vive.

Chorus

I've been holding back the night.
D          C               G         C
I've been searching for a clue from you.
D          C               G       C
I'm gonna try with all my might
D             C                Em

I can feel you tremble when we touch
                        Em
and I feel the hand of fate

You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

Somehow we end up on the same side

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

Son, I missed my chance

Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
