[D] [A#]
[D]
[G] You [Bm] on it saw [Em] red after I set [C] out Can we continue?
[D] Hidden from your [Bm] view In the [Em] blue corner that [C] I painted myself
[F#m] into Then [Em] we started [G] to fight
[C] And it changed [E] everything Here's the break
[F#] You dropped the pen I can't understand it not
After all [D] we've been [F#] through Words start to fly out of my glass jar
And I will find one to walk [D] right into [C] You knock me out
[Am] It was the sweetest punch The bell [G] goes
I can hear it ringing but I didn't see it coming
[Em] We all said things we don't mean [Am] You can't take [C] it back
[G]
Now the [D] rope is spinning [A] but you're either last or [C] don't
I [G] can see how never-ending [Am] So if [C] you're going
Then you better go to [B] hell [C] Then you better go to [D] hell
[D] [D#]
[G] I [Bm] on it [Bm] saw stars I dropped my [C] guard and that's how [F#m] it ended
[D] [G] What was I to do?
In the blue corner [C] where I seemed to hang [B] suspended
[Em] There were seconds [G] to go You [C] delivered [D] the blow
Here I go [Em] [F#] You dropped the band I can't understand it not
After [Bm] all we've been through [F#] Words start to fly out of my glass jar
And I will find one to [Bm] walk right into [C] You knock me out
[Am] It was the sweetest punch The bell [G] goes
I can hear it ringing but I didn't see it coming
[Em] We all said things we don't mean
[Am] You can't take [D] it back
[G] Now the rope is [A] spinning but you're either last [C] or don't
I [Em] can see how never-ending [Am] So if [C] you're going
Then you better go [D] to hell [C] Then you better go [D] to hell
