Boxer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Got your pride and your prose
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke
Just in case you [G]need [Em]it[C]
[D]
I know you got your [G]pride
and your prose
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
[Em]Somewhere in the smoke
Just in case you needed
Some of [C]her to spin around
Rougher than the last one
[D]Oh, what'd you used to say
[Em]The harder they come
[D]But he [G]just swears he's
praying for a good time
[Em]He, he said he just doesn't miss her
And [C]I h[G]ave heard you neve[C]r really lose it
[D]Do [G]you, do you

[Verse 2]
He took it all [G]gracefully on the chin
Knowing that the [Em]beatings
had to someday end
He found the [C]bandages inside the pen
And [D]the stitches on the radio
There was [G]something, baby,
holding you down
And there [Em]were whispers that
were driving you crazy
And now [C]you hunt the heart of this town
Re[D]member when I knew a boxer,

[Interlude 1]
baby
[G][Em]
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
And you [G]tied two knuckles up
How they grind [D]down
[Em]Tried to be a man
Tough just like [D]your father
[C]Try to settle down
Boy, I could calm down
Re[D]member them songs
And the [Em]reasons we [Am]were singing
[G]But he said he just doesn't miss her
[Em]He, he said it's somewhere
in his framework
And [C]I have h[G]eard y[C]ou never really lose it
[D]Do [G]you, do you

[Verse 4]
He took it all [G]gracefully on the chin
Knowing that the [Em]beatings had
to someday end
He found the [C]bandages inside the pen
And [D]the stitches on the radio
There [G]was something, baby,
holding you down
And there were [Em]reasons that
were driving you crazy
Until you [C]hunt the heart of this town
Re[D]member when I knew a boxer, baby

[Verse 5]
[D]
And you can wait [Em]all night long
Until it [G]all goes wrong
And you [D]waste away your soul
And you can [C]wait, wait, wait, wait
[D]

[Verse 6]
You took it all [G]gracefully on the chin
Knowing that the [Em]beatings
had to someday end
You found the [C]bandages inside the pen
And [D]the stitches on the radio
There [G]was something, baby,
holding you down
And there were [Em]whispers that
were driving you crazy
Until you [C]hunt the heart of this town
Re[D]member when I knew a boxer,
baby
[Em]Remember [D]when I knew a boxer, baby
[G]
