[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.
