Suckerpunch

C# E
I'm sick of only making peanuts.
C# G#
I'm sick of stale sandwich bread.
C#
I've got a plan to make it better
A                    E
And it begins with a simple punch to
 my head.

E G# C# A B

          E                        
Another count and I'm down but I'm 
  A         B
wearing him down.
E                           A    
Keeping the faith that I've got 
       B
what it takes.
    E                 A        B
Deride my pride but I'll be alright.
           E                      
I've got a Rocky II lunchbox with 
A                B
bills in it and I'll scrape by.

       E                 B
I have seen this on some episode
   C#                  A          
Of Maude, Fish, Chips, or the White 
B
Shadow
 E            B               C#
Rerun in my mind a thousand times
             A       B
Though I forget the channel.

          E                     A 
But I am back in my corner with 
           B
ice packs and water
     E                             
The champ's right hook changing my 
A           B
good side to bad.
     E              A         B
Too late to make a run for the van
    E                     A   
The doc leans in timidly asking 
    B
about my health plan

I can see the referee wants to go

home
               A         B
(homey's got a wife and family)
          E                  B    
And my detractors clap their hands
                C#
 and blow their smoke
      A             B

 B
With every second that goes by
   B
I don't mind my swollen eyes.

          E        G#        
'Cause I bet on myself and I'm 
  A        B
making a killing.
      E             G#       
My opponent planned victory, I 
A            B
planned to lose.
   E                     C#       
My bookie is crying, my wife 
      B
thinks I'm dying
    E           G#           
But I've got a nest egg that's 
  A           B             E
hatching in the final round.

E G# C# A B

         E                         
And as I fall to the floor I don't 
 A           B
feel so hardcore
   E                            A 
My teeth swinging loose like a 
            B
drunk girl's caboose
   E                      C#      
My boys in the corner are pensive 
     B
and somber
   E                     A    
And Father O'Reilly is crossing 
       B
himself more and more

The victory party's at my place

After my loss and my disgrace.
