Intro
G D C F Gm7 Gm/D# G
[Verse]
G D C F
Every time I find myself in this old bind
Gm7 Gm/D# G
Watching the death of my hopes.
G D C F
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
Gm7 Gm/D# G
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
Em G
I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
C Bm Am
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
D
No retreat.
[Verse]
G D C F
I may never get, everything I bet
Gm7 Gm/D# G
But I'm a man who always copes
G D C F
I'm hurting bad and fighting mad
Gm7 Gm/D# G
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
Em G
Everything that I hold near and dear to me
C Bm Am
Is riding on this moment here and now,
D
I know how.
[Instrumental]

G D C F
Gonna feel so good, when it's understood
Gm7 Gm/D# G
But hold the rebirth of my hopes
