Chords with lyrics
C#C# E MajorE
I'm sick of only making peanuts.
C#C# G#G#
I'm sick of stale sandwich bread.
C#C#
I've got a plan to make it better
A augmentedA E MajorE
And it begins with a simple punch to my head.
E MajorE G#G# C#C# A augmentedA BB
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Another count and I'm down but I'm wearing him down.

Keeping the faith that I've got what it takes.

Deride my pride but I'll be alright.
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
I've got a Rocky II lunchbox with bills in it and I'll scrape by.

I have seen this on some episode
C#C# A augmentedA BB
Of Maude, Fish, Chips, or the White Shadow
E MajorE BB C#C#
Rerun in my mind a thousand times
A augmentedA BB
Though I forget the channel.
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
But I am back in my corner with ice packs and water
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
The champ's right hook changing my good side to bad.
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Too late to make a run for the van

The doc leans in timidly asking about my health plan

I can see the referee wants to go home

(homey's got a wife and family)
E MajorE BB C#C#
And my detractors clap their hands and blow their smoke
A augmentedA BB
(Headline news in next day's sportspage.)

With every second that goes by

'Cause I bet on myself and I'm making a killing.

My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I'm dying

E MajorE A augmentedA BB
And as I fall to the floor I don't feel so hardcore
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
My teeth swinging loose like a drunk girl's caboose
E MajorE C#C# BB
My boys in the corner are pensive and somber
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
And Father O'Reilly is crossing himself more and more
E MajorE BB C#C#
I can see the referee wants to go home
A augmentedA BB
(homey's got a wife and family)

And my detractors clap their hands and blow their smoke
