[INTRO]
.
Bb Dm C F If I stand or if I fall, I'm still giving it my all
Bb Dm C Dm I'm a blood sweat tears believer, I'm the man in the arena
[VERSE ONE]
Dm It's not the critic who counts
Who's shooting their mouth
When the strong man stumbles?
It's not about all the noise or the fingers that point
At the man with the ball when he fumbles
They say it's too tough, telling you to give it up
Bb C Never showing any love, they could never make the cut
Dm Bb So get out of the way of those making the plays
C Dm When they say get ready to rumble get ready to, ready to rumble
[CHORUS]
Bb Dm So let them talk from the cheap seats
C F We're the ones making hearts beat
Bb Dm If you're winning or losing
C Raise your hand, raise your hand
Bb Dm C F If I stand or if I fall, I'm still giving it my all
[POST CHORUS]
Bb Dm I'm a blood sweat tears believer
C F I'm the man in the arena
Bb Dm I'm a blood sweat tears believer
C Dm I'm the man in the arena
[VERSE TWO]
Dm Everything that they said tryna get in your head
Dm Use it all just to fuel your hunger
Dm There'll be sweat in your eyes but you're still gonna rise
Dm Getting back up only makes you stronger
Dm With dedication and determination
Bb C Put it all together, it's a deadly combination
Dm So feel the ground shake, feel the earthquake
Bb C Dm Following the footsteps only giants make
Dm Only giants make, yeah (Let's go)
[CHORUS]
Bb Dm So let them talk from the cheap seats
C F We're the ones making hearts beat
Bb Dm If you're winning or losing
C Raise your hand, raise your hand
Bb Dm C F If I stand or if I fall, I'm still giving it my all
[POST CHORUS]
Bb Dm I'm a blood sweat tears believer
C F I'm the man in the arena
Bb Dm I'm a blood sweat tears believer
C F I'm the man in the arena

[BRIDGE]
Bb Dm C F And the critics, they may laugh from the comfort of their couch
Bb Dm C F And the whole world says you're wrong but they're mistaken

[CHORUS]
Bb Dm So let them talk from the cheap seats
