The Gaslight Anthem - Boxer

N.C.

Got your pride and your prose

N.C.

Tucked just like a Tommy gun

N.C.

Somewhere in the smoke Just in case you n^Ceed it

I know you got your p^Cride and your prose Tucked just like a Tommy gun, s^Amomewhere in the smoke just in case you need it, son. I h^Feard it's been a ride rougher than the last one, w^Ghat'd you used to say? ^GOh, the harder they come But ^Che, he swears, he's praying for a good time And ^Amhe, he said, he just doesn't miss her And ^FI have heard you never really lose it, d^Go ya? Do ya?

You took it all g^Cracefully on the chin Knowing that the b^Ameatings had to someday end You found the b^Fandages inside the pen And the s^Gtitches on the radio But there was so^Cmething heavy holding you down And there were w^Amhispers that were driving you crazy And now you ha^Funt the heart of this town Rem^Gember when I knew a boxer, baby

And your t^Cattooed knuckles, oh how they grind down ^AmTry to be a man, tough just like your father ^FTry to settle down, more like c-calm down Rem^Gember them songs and the reasons we were singing for ^CBut he said he just doesn't miss her And ^Amhe, he says it's somewhere in his framework And ^FI have heard you never really lose it, ^Gdo ya? Do ya?

You took it all g^Cracefully on the chin Knowing that the b^Ameatings had to someday end You found the b^Fandages inside the pen And the s^Gtitches on the radio But there was so^Cmething heavy holding you down And there were w^Amhispers that were driving you crazy And now you ha^Funt the heart of this town Rem^Gember when I knew a boxer, baby

And you can wait a^Amll night long Until it a^Cll goes wrong And you w^Gaste away your soul And you can w^Fait, wait, wait, wait ^G

You took it all g^Cracefully on the chin Knowing that the b^Ameatings had to someday end You found the b^Fandages inside the pen And the s^Gtitches on the radio But there was so^Cmething heavy holding you down And there were w^Amhispers that were driving you crazy And now you ha^Funt the heart of this town Rem^Gember when I knew a boxer, baby^Am Rem^Gember when I knew a boxer, baby ^C
