Chords
[Intro]
Got your pride and your prose
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke
Just in case you Bbneed it
Bb Gm Eb F I know you got your Bbpride and your prose
[Verse 1]
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
GmSomewhere in the smoke, just in case you need it, son
I Ebheard it's been a ride rougher than the last one
FWhat'd you used to say? Oh, the harder they come
But Bbhe, he swears he's praying for a good time
And Gmhe, he said he just doesn't miss her
And EbI have heard you never really lose it, Fdo you?
Do you?
[Chorus]
You took it all Bbgracefully on the chin
Knowing that the Gmbeatings had to someday end
You found the banEbdages inside the pen
And the Fstitches on the ra dio
But there was Bbsomething heavy holding you down
And there were Gmwhispers that were driving you crazy
And now you Ebhaunt the heart of this town
ReFmember when I knew a boxer, baby
[Verse 2]
Bb Gm Eb F And your Bbtattooed knuckles, oh how they grind down
GmTry to be a man, tough just like your father
EbTry to settle down, more like ccalm down
ReFmember them songs and the reasons we were singing for
BbBut he said he just doesn't miss her
And Gmhe, he says it's somewhere in his framework
And EbI have heard you never really lose it, Fdo you?
Do you?
[Chorus]
You took it all Bbgracefully on the chin
Knowing that the Gmbeatings had to someday end
You found the banEbdages inside the pen
And the Fstitches on the ra dio
But there was Bbsomething heavy holding you down
And there were Gmwhispers that were driving you crazy
And now you Ebhaunt the heart of this town
ReFmember when I knew a boxer, baby
And you can wait Gmall night long
[Bridge]
Until it Bball goes wrong
And you Fwaste away your soul
And you can Ebwait, wait, wait, wait
[Chorus]
F You took it all Bbgracefully on the chin
Knowing that the Gmbeatings had to someday end
You found the banEbdages inside the pen
And the Fstitches on the ra dio
But there was Bbsomething heavy holding you down
And there were Gmwhispers that were driving you crazy
And now you Ebhaunt the heart of this town
ReFmember when I knew a boxer, baby
[Outro]
Gm ReFmember when I knew a boxer, baby Bb
