E                  G
You gotta bite, scratch, and claw your
D              E
way to the top shelf

   E                 G
Anyone who tells you different has
      D              E
never been there themself

         C                 G
It's not fair and it’s not kind but
D                   E
that's the way life goes

              E                  G
And if you're hard enough you’ll find
         D             E
what the wise men only know


[Verse 2]
E                       G
That it's a cold, cruel world and it's
D              E
meant to be as such

             E               G
'cause if it all becomes too easy,
            D                  E
man, you'll start to lose your touch

            C                G
And if this life becomes too pleasing
       D                E
just remember what they say

          E*                 G*
You gotta bite, scratch, and claw
      D*          E
every step of the way


[Chorus]
E     G   D    E
Heyey hey Ohoh oh
E    G   D   E
Ohoh oh  woh woh
C   G   D  E
woh woh oh oh woh
E    G*  D   E
Wooh woh woh woh


[Verse 3]
          E                 G
You gotta bite, scratch and claw your
D                  E
way to the table's head

    E                       G
And that which makes you stronger will
     D                E
make sure you wind up dead

         C          G         D
While we all fade away at the end of
    E
the game

             E                  G*
So you gotta bite, scratch, and claw
      D*               E
to be more than just a name


[Chorus]
E     G   D       E
Wohoh woh woh woh woh
E  G  D      E
Oh oh oh woh woh woh
C   G   D  E
woh woh oh oh
E    G*   D   E
Wooh wooh woh woh

[Verse 4]
          E                  G
You gotta bite, scratch, and claw your
D              E
way to the top shelf

   E                 G
Anyone who tells you different has
      D              E
never been there themself

         C                 G
It's not fair and it’s not kind but

that's the way life goes

              E                  G*
And if you're hard enough you’ll find
         D*            E*
what the wise men only know

Wooh wooh oh oh oh

Oh oh woh woh woh woh

Wooh wooh woh woh
