F# C# B E F#m7 F#m/D F#
[Verse]
F# C# B E
Every time I find myself in this old bind
F#m7 F#m/D F#
Watching the death of my hopes.
F# C# B E
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
F#m7 F#m/D F#
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
D#m F#
I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
B A#m G#m
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
C#
No retreat.
[Verse]
F# C# B E
I may never get, everything I bet
F#m7 F#m/D F#
But I'm a man who always copes

I'm hurting bad and fighting mad
F#m7 F#m/D F#
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]

Everything that I hold near and dear to me

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