I feel it in the morning when I fall out of bed
I never get a break and I can't get ahead
I'm up against the ropes, shaking in my shoes
I take it on the chin till I'm black and blue
I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag
I'm backed into [C7]a corner with a foreman in my [A]face
I can't fight my [A]way out of this place
But I learned to [C7]be [Am]tough ɾight out of the box
I graduated from the school of hard knocks
I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag, hit me all [Em]you [A7want to
I got [Fm7]pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you [A7when I swing back again
She broke her promise and [Bm]now she's gonna leave
When she floated like [F]a butterfly, stung me like [F]a bee
She took off the gloves and [Bm]took a cheap shot
And she left me hanging in a pretty tough spot
I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag, hit me all [Em]you [A7want to
I got [Fm7]pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you [A7when I swing back again
I wanna set the ɾecord stɾaight
Everyday life is a heavy weight
You can tear me up, there ain't no doubt
But you [A7ain't ever gonna knock me out
I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag
Yeah I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag, hit me all [Em]you [A7want to
I got [Fm7]pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you [A7when I swing back again
