Well when you went away
You left me in the ring
My fists high and my head low
The lights revealed a sweaty face and a chest pounding up and down fast
Full force and evident
I loved you like a fighter
A fiery featherweight
But from the hits my [A]head went
Oh, lalalalala
Oh, lalalalala
Was I caught in the words of a fickle man?
Cause I was [Am7]tougher than all [Em]of them [A]when I stayed
You said love was [Am7]a big fish and [Bm]I the bait
But I am living the promises that you [A7made
I will love you
Till my [A]heart burns out
Till my [A]big foolish grin shows a bloody mouth
In the flash that we share a kiss on [C7]the ɾopes
I'm your dizzy baby
For the show
Another lesson [C7]learned
I guess I'll learn to [C7]get by
But I'll miss the ease of laughing
And I'll miss the afterglow
And I'll miss your slender hands
And how they moved like [F]soft leaves when you [A7danced for [Dm7]me sometimes
Was I caught in the words of a fickle man?
Cause I was [Am7]tougher than all [Em]of them [A]when I stayed
You said love was [Am7]a big fish and [Bm]I the bait
But I am living the promises that you [A7made
I will love you
Till my [A]heart burns out
Till my [A]big foolish grin shows a bloody mouth
In the flash that we share a kiss on [C7]the ɾopes
I'm your dizzy baby
For the show
Well when you [A7went away
You left me in the ɾing
My fists high and [Bm]my [A]head low
I was [Am7]to [C7]fight the every damn thing that stood in our way
