[Verse 1]
Gadd9You Bm7only saw Em7red
After I Am7said, "how can Am7/Gwe contiD/F#nue?"
DHidden from Gadd9your viBm7ew
In the Em7blue corner that I Am7painted Am7/Gmyself inB/F#-to B
Then we Emstarted to Gfight
And it Cchanged everyD/Ething, here's the ring
[Bridge]
F#/EYou dropped the band, I can't understand it
Not after all we've beBm/Den through
F#/EWords start to fly, my glass jaw and I
Will find one to walk right iBm/Dn-to.
You kCmaj7nocked me out
Am7It was the sweetest punch, the bell goes...
|Gadd9 / / / / |
[Chorus 1]
Gadd9I can hear it ringing, but I Cadd9didn't see it coming
Em7We all say things we don't mean
Am7You can't take it D7sus4back Gadd9
Gadd9Now the room is spinning, but was Cadd9I the last to notice?
Em7I can see I'll never win
Am7So if you're D7sus4going
Am/DThen you better go to him
Am/DThen you better go to him.
