Every time I find myself in this old bind
G#m7 G#m/E G#
Watching the death of my hopes.

In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong

I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.

I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart

To win this one and walk out on my feet,
D#
No retreat.

G# D# C# F#
I may never get, everything I bet

I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.

Everything that I hold near and dear to me

Is riding on this moment here and now,

I know how.
