[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...

 Gadd9
| /  /  /  / |
[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.

     Cmaj7
