[Verse]
A# F D# G#
Every time I find myself in this old bind
A#m7 A#m/F# A#
Watching the death of my hopes.
A# F D# G#
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
A#m7 A#m/F# A#
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
Gm A#
I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
D# Dm Cm
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
F
No retreat.
[Verse]
A# F D# G#
I may never get, everything I bet
A#m7 A#m/F# A#
But I'm a man who always copes
A# F D# G#
I'm hurting bad and fighting mad
A#m7 A#m/F# A#
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
Gm A#
Everything that I hold near and dear to me
D# Dm Cm
Is riding on this moment here and now,
F
I know how.

No retreat.

Gonna feel so good, when it's understood
A#m7 A#m/F# A#
