Intro
D A G C Dm7 Dm/A# D
[Verse]
D A G C
Every time I find myself in this old bind
Dm7 Dm/A# D
Watching the death of my hopes.
D A G C
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
Dm7 Dm/A# D
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
Bm D
I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
G F#m Em
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
A
No retreat.
[Verse]
D A G C
I may never get, everything I bet
Dm7 Dm/A# D
But I'm a man who always copes
D A G C
I'm hurting bad and fighting mad
Dm7 Dm/A# D
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]
Bm D
Everything that I hold near and dear to me
G F#m Em
Is riding on this moment here and now,
A
I know how.

Gonna feel so good, when it's understood
