[Verse]
B F# E A
Every time I find myself in this old bind

Watching the death of my hopes.
B F# E A
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
Bm7 Bm/G B
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]

I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
E D#m C#m
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
F#
No retreat.

I may never get, everything I bet
Bm7 Bm/G B
But I'm a man who always copes

I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
G#m B
Everything that I hold near and dear to me

Is riding on this moment here and now,
F#
I know how.
