C Dm Em Dm
We went to the youth club and we looked out of place.
C Dm
I didn't know where to look
Em Dm
So I, looked at your face.
C Dm Em Dm
But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling.
C Dm
You didn't give me a chance,
Em Dm
You gave me a beating.
F G
And I thank you very much that you did.
C Dm Em Dm
And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble,
C Dm Em Dm
Before I could realise my age had doubled.
Am G
The man I became is a tragic bore,
F Em
And he's not a boxing champ anymore.
Am G
If there's one thing i've learnt it's to run away,
F Em
At least I enjoy what I do today.
F G
And I thank you very much that I do.
