[Verse 1]
[Gadd9]You [Bm7]only saw [Em7]red
After I [Am7]said, "how can [Am7/G]we conti[D/F#]nue?"
[D]Hidden from [Gadd9]your vi[Bm7]ew
In the [Em7]blue corner that I [Am7]painted [Am7/G]myself in[B/F#]-to[B]
Then we [Em]started to [G]fight
And it [C]changed every[D/E]thing, here's the ring
[Bridge]
[F#/E]You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Not after all we've be[Bm/D]en through
[F#/E]Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
Will find one to walk right i[Bm/D]n-to.
You k[Cmaj7]nocked me out
[Am7]It was the sweetest punch, the bell goes...

[Cborus 1]
[Gadd9]I can hear it ringing, but I [Cadd9]didn't see it coming
[Em7]We all say things we don't mean
[Am7]You can't take it [D7sus4]back[Gadd9]
[Gadd9]Now the room is spinning, but was [Cadd9]I the last to notice?
[Em7]I can see I'll never win
[Am7]So if you're [D7sus4]going
[Am/D]Then you better go to him
[Am/D]Then you better go to him.

[Verse 2]
[Gadd9]I [Bm7]only saw [Em7]stars
I dropped my [Am7]guard, and that's [Am7/G]how it en[D/F#]-ded
[D]What was I to [Gadd9]do[Bm7]
In the [Em7]blue corner where [Am7]I seemed to [Am7/G]hang suspen[B/F#]-ded?[B]
Then with [Em]seconds to [G]go
You de[C]livered the [D/E]blow, here I go...
[Bridge]
[F#/E]You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Not after all we've be[Bm/D]en through
[F#/E]Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
Will find one to walk right i[Bm/D]n-to.
You k[Cmaj7]nocked me out
[Am7]It was the sweetest punch, the bell goes...
