Boxer chords by The Gaslight Anthem

Chords with lyrics

Intro:

N.C.
Got your pride and your prose
N.C.
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
N.C.
Somewhere in the smoke
         C majorC
Just in case you need it

Interlude:

C majorC A minorAm FF G+G

Verse:

           C majorC
I know you got your pride and your prose
                A minorAm
Tucked just like a Tommy gun, somewhere in the smoke
                 FF
just in case you need it, son. I heard it's been a ride
              G+G
rougher than the last one, what'd you used to say?
G+G
Oh, the harder they come
  C majorC
But he, he swears, he's praying for a good time
  A minorAm
And he, he said, he just doesn't miss her
  FF
And I have heard
              G+G
you never really lose it, do ya? Do ya?

Chorus:

         C majorC
You took it all gracefully on the chin
         A minorAm
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
        FF
You found the bandages inside the pen
     G+G
And the stitches on the radio
        C majorC
But there was something heavy holding you down
        A minorAm
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
       FF
And now you haunt the heart of this town
  G+G
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

Interlude:

C majorC A minorAm FF G+G

Verse:

     C majorC
And your tattooed knuckles, oh how they grind down
A minorAm
Try to be a man, tough just like your father
FF
Try to settle down, more like c-calm down
  G+G
Remember them songs and the reasons we were singing for
C majorC
But he said he just doesn't miss her
  A minorAm
And he, he says it's somewhere in his framework
  FF
And I have heard
             G+G
you never really lose it, do ya? Do ya?

Chorus:

         C majorC
You took it all gracefully on the chin
         A minorAm
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
        FF
You found the bandages inside the pen
     G+G
And the stitches on the radio
        C majorC
But there was something heavy holding you down
        A minorAm
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
       FF
And now you haunt the heart of this town
  G+G
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

Bridge:

         A minorAm
And you can wait all night long
     C majorC
Until it all goes wrong
     G+G
And you waste away your soul
       FF           G+G
And you can wait, wait, wait, wait

Chorus:

         C majorC
You took it all gracefully on the chin
         A minorAm
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
        FF
You found the bandages inside the pen
     G+G
And the stitches on the radio
        C majorC
But there was something heavy holding you down
        A minorAm
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
       FF
And now you haunt the heart of this town
  G+G               A minorAm
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
  G+G                C majorC
