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.
