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. [Outro] C Dm Em Dm C Dm Em Dm C
