The Gaslight Anthem - Boxer acoustic

^CI know you got your pride and your prose tucked just like a tommy gun ^AmSomewhere in the smoke just in case you needed some ^FI heard it's been a ride, rougher than the last one ^GOnce you used to say, oh, the harder they come ^CBut he, he swears he's praying for a good time ^AmAnd he, he said he just doesn't miss her ^FAnd I have heard you never really lose it, d^Go ya? do ya?

^CYou took it all gracefully on the chin ^AmKnowing that the beatings had to some day end ^FYou found the bandages inside the pen and the st^Gitches on the radio ^CBut there was something heavy holding you down ^AmAnd there were whispers that were driving you crazy ^FAnd now you haunt the heart of this town ^GRemember when I knew a boxer, baby

^CAnd your tattooed knuckles, oh how they grind down ^AmTry to be a man, tough just like your father ^FTry to settle down, more like calm down ^GRemember them songs and the reasons we were singing for ^CBut he said, he just doesn't miss her ^AmAnd he, he says it's somewhere in his framework ^FAnd I have heard you never really lose it, do^G ya? do ya?

^CYou took it all gracefully on the chin ^AmKnowing that the beatings had to some day end ^FYou found the bandages inside the pen and the sti^Gtches on the radio ^CBut there was something heavy holding you down ^AmAnd there were reasons that were driving you crazy ^FUntil you haunt the heart of this town ^GRemember when I knew a boxer

And you c^Aman wait all night long, until it^C all goes wrong And you was^Gte away your soul And you can ^Fwait wait wait ^G

You took it all graceful^Cly on the chin ^AmKnowing that the beatings had to some day end ^FYou found the bandages inside the pen and the s^Gtitches on the radio ^CBut there was something heavy holding you down ^AmAnd there were whispers that were driving you crazy ^FUntil you haunt the heart of this town ^GRemember when I knew a boxer, baby
