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.
