CDmEmDm (x2)
CDmEmDm
We went to the youth club and we looked out of place
CDmEmDm
I didn't know where to look so I, looked at your face
CDmEmDm
But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling
CDmEmDm
You didn't give me a chance, you gave me a beating
FG
And I thank you very much that you did
CDmEmDm
And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble
CDmEmDm
Before I could realise my age had doubled
AmG
The man I became is a tragic bore
FEm
And he's not a boxing champ anymore
AmG
If there's one thing I've learnt it's to run away
FEm
At least I enjoy what I do today
FG
And I thank you very much that I do
