Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
Look at this fool
Never knowing when to quit
Can't they see when destined not to make it?
Next time he goes down, he'd better stay down
He'd better have more, if he wants to surpass
Why doesn't he just see he's been outclassed?
Reeling from the punch, his eyes open wide
That's when, the fight, is all, that remains
Constantly yearning, gives, cause to collide
That's when, you'll know, it's time, for a change
Can you believe this fool?
Why won't he go down, he can barely stand
What could be keeping him up?
'Cause he's clearly outclassed
But when he closes his eyes
The ones he loves stand by his side
It's hard to beat a man
With only one plan
Pre-ChorusSame as Pre-Chorus. Tap to open.
Reeling from the punch, his eyes open wide
That's when, the fight, is all, that remains
ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.
Constantly yearning, gives, cause to collide
That's when, you'll know, it's time, for a change
The only way to win is to just give in to the goal
Reeling from the punch, but never breaking stride
That's when, the fight, is all, that remains
Constantly yearning, gives, cause to collide
That's when, you'll know, that's when, you'll know
It's time for a change, the exchange has been made
The journeyman, tonight, makes a name
Journeyman
He's telegraphing his angle of attack
But there ain't no way he's going back
Maybe another fight for one,
But this is a title bout for him
So while he takes another to the side
His eyes stay open wide
That's when - the fight - is all - that remains
