Intro
A E D G Am7 Am/F A
[Verse]
A E D G
Every time I find myself in this old bind
Am7 Am/F A
Watching the death of my hopes.
A E D G
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
Am7 Am/F A
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
F#m A
I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
D C#m Bm
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
E
No retreat.
[Verse]
A E D G
I may never get, everything I bet
Am7 Am/F A
But I'm a man who always copes
A E D G
I'm hurting bad and fighting mad
Am7 Am/F A
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
F#m A
Everything that I hold near and dear to me
D C#m Bm
Is riding on this moment here and now,
E
I know how.

Gonna feel so good, when it's understood
