Songtext

[Intro]
Got your pride and your prose
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke
                 Bb
Just in case you need it
Bb Gm Eb
F                    Bb
 I know you got your pride and your prose

[Verse 1]
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Gm
Somewhere in the smoke, just in case you need it,
son
  Eb
I heard it's been a ride rougher than the last one
F
What'd you used to say? Oh,
the harder they come
    Bb
But he,
he swears he's praying for a good time
    Gm
And he, he said he just doesn't miss her
    Eb
And I have heard you never really lose it,
F
do you?
Do you?

[Chorus]
                Bb
You took it all gracefully on the chin
                 Gm
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
                 Eb
You found the bandages inside the pen
        F
And the stitches on the ra dio
              Bb
But there was something heavy holding you down
               Gm
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
            Eb
And now you haunt the heart of this town
  F
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

[Verse 2]
Bb Gm Eb F         Bb
          And your tattooed knuckles,
oh how they grind down
Gm
Try to be a man,
tough just like your father
Eb
Try to settle down, more like ccalm down
  F
Remember them songs and the reasons we were singing for
Bb
But he said he just doesn't miss her
    Gm
And he,
he says it's somewhere in his framework
    Eb
And I have heard you never really lose it,
F
do you?
Do you?

[Chorus]
                Bb
You took it all gracefully on the chin
                 Gm
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
                 Eb
You found the bandages inside the pen
        F
And the stitches on the ra dio
              Bb
But there was something heavy holding you down
               Gm
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
            Eb
And now you haunt the heart of this town
  F
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
                 Gm
And you can wait all night long

[Bridge]
         Bb
Until it all goes wrong
        F
And you waste away your soul
            Eb
And you can wait, wait, wait, wait

[Chorus]
F                Bb
 You took it all gracefully on the chin
                 Gm
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
                 Eb
You found the bandages inside the pen
        F
And the stitches on the ra dio
              Bb
But there was something heavy holding you down
               Gm
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
            Eb
And now you haunt the heart of this town
  F
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

[Outro]
Gm  F                               Bb
  Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
