[Verse 1]

Gadd9 Bm7 Em7
You only saw red
Am7 Am7/G D/F#
After I said, "how can we continue?"
D Gadd9 Bm7
Hidden from your view
Em7 Am7 Am7/G B/F# B
In the blue corner that I painted myself in-to
Em G
Then we started to fight
C D/E
And it changed everything, here's the ring

[Bridge]

F#/E
You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Bm/D
Not after all we've been through
F#/E
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
Bm/D
Will find one to walk right in-to.
Cmaj7
You knocked me out
Am7
It was the sweetest punch, the bell goes...

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Gadd9 Bm7 Em7
I only saw stars
Am7 Am7/G D/F#
I dropped my guard, and that's how it en-ded
D Gadd9 Bm7
What was I to do
Em7 Am7 Am7/G B/F# B
In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspen-ded?
Em G
Then with seconds to go
C D/E
You delivered the blow, here I go...

[Bridge]

F#/E
You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Bm/D
Not after all we've been through
F#/E
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
Bm/D
Will find one to walk right in-to.

You knocked me out
