[C] I didn't know whe[Dm]re to look
So I, l[Em]ooked at your f[Dm]ace.
[C] But you were a[Dm] boxing champ, [Em]and I was a weak[Dm]ling.
[C] You didn't give [Dm]me a chance,
[Em]You gave me a b[Dm]eating.
[F]And I thank you very much that yo[G]u did.
[C] And as the ti[Dm]me went by we st[Em]ayed out of trou[Dm]ble,
[C] Before I could[Dm] realise m[Em]y age had double[Dm]d.
[Am]The man I became is a t[G]ragic bore,
[F]And he's not a boxing champ[Em] anymore.
[Am]If there's one thing i've learnt [G]it's to run away,
[F]At least I enjoy what I do [Em]today.
[F]And I thank you very much that [G]I do.
