Verse 2
A handful of vitamins,
drop them on the floor
My ex- girlfriends' are
laughin' from the icebox door
I put their (C major) photos up there,

But they (F major) ain't talkin' back now,
the pu (C major) gilist is (G major) 59
Verse 3
Cold chicken salad, a glass of iced tea
Phone bills, gas bills, electricity
And the mort (C major) gage and the junk mail,
one old Father's Day (G major) card
Yeah, go (F major) sweat it out, kid,
it's (C major) 108 in (G major) the yard

(G major)
Water the lawn, trim them old trees
Pray that your gut don't fall

Now, now the (F major) champ's on the ropes,
Arch, the (C major) pugilist is (G major) 59

And the (A minor) rock and the roll
And the fight for your soul

You're always (C major) ready for love
Pray your (D major) passion ain't (C major) used up and (B minor) gone,
yeah (D major)

The (G major) harder we love, the harder we fall
It's cauliflower hearts and

Well, there's a mighty (F major) thin line between a
(C major) heavyweight champ (G major) and a used up old clown
Verse 7
But this is (G major) Hollywood, kid,
fear strikes out
Miracles turn around one- sided bouts
Get off the floor, (C major) kid,
the sweet science of them old romantic (G major) lines
Hey, the champs (F major) comin' back,
boys, the (C major) pugilist is (G major) 59
Verse 8
And the (A minor) rock and the roll
And the fight for your soul goes (G major) on and on

(C major) used up and (B minor) gone, yeah (A minor)
Verse 9
(G major) Roll out of bed, water on your face
Twenty- five sit- ups - run in place
You put the coffee (C major) on but

I said, (F major) all you little devils of
alcohol (C major) and caf (G major) feine
Yeah, (F major) all you little devils of
al (C major) cohol and caffeine (G major)
I said, (F major) all you little devils of
al (C major) cohol and caffeine
(G major)
