You Knock Me Out

A
The lights drop
             E
The film starts
              D        A
And I can't stop grinning
like a punchdrunk moron on a truck 
          E                     D 
driving northbound to take his 
             A
girl pumpkin picking
                          F#m   E  A
Cuz she's in love with October
A                           
And it's got me looking at it 
     D
differently
E                         F#m    
and if you knew how I'd gotten 
       A                      
used to things then you'd know 
       D         E
that's fine with me.


             D           E
Because I'm cynical so often
                       F#m       
it's nice to have something to be 
        A
naive about.
               Bm               
But when they laugh, so sure and 
     E
caustic
                     D
It used to knock me out
    E
but I can't even hear 'em now.


A E D E x2


Continues after the ad
A                  E          
Two pictures, two days, and what 
     D             A
changed, what changed?
A                             
It's all of the difference that 
               E             D    
cutting you out and owning up 
     A
could make
A/G#      F#m                    
Cuz girl, you were a cancer and 
      A
I've carved you out
       D             E
and I never feel so sick now.


             D          E
Because I'm cynical so often
                      F#m        
it's nice to have something to be 
        A
naive about.
             Bm               
So let them laugh, so sure and 
   E
caustic
                  D
It used to cut me up
    E
but I can't even hear 'em now.


Play  " A E D E " Through this whole
 part


You knock me out
You knock me out

You knock me out
You knock me out
Yeah, you knock me out


            D                 
I said, "I know how things can 
    E
crumble
       F#m                 A

and I know how things can drown
         E            D          
but how long will it take me to 
A             E
turn my life around?"


                     D             
I used to sing, "I know how things 
      E
can crumble
       F#m             A
and I know how people drown
         E            D          
but how long will it take me to 
A             E
turn my life around?"


                    D              
But now i sing, "I know how people 
  E
crumble
          F#m              A
and I've seen how people drown
              E                D
I've got so close but I'm starting
    A             E
to turn my life around, around, 
around.
