Boxing Champ

C  Dm  Em  Dm
C  Dm  Em  Dm


[Verse]
C                Dm                Em              Dm
  We went to the youth club and we   looked out of place.
C               Dm                  Em               Dm
  I didn't know where to look, So I   looked at your face.


[Verse]
C               Dm                Em        Dm
 But you were a boxing champ, and   I was a weakling.
C                 Dm          Em               Dm
  You didn't give me a chance,   You gave me a beating.


[Chorus]
      F              F               G      G
And I thank you very much that you did.


[Verse]
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.


[Bridge]
    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.


[Chorus]
      F              F             G      G
And I thank you very much that I do.
