Southpaw Lyrics

Key: C
Chords used:
Intro: Am--F-- x2
Verse 1:
Cracked knuckles
and my fists
are bandaged up
for the fight
Am I ready?
There's the bell
How many rounds
can I go? And how
can I soften the
blows? Can I avoid
them altogether?
Chorus 1:
But my heart isn't
in this I'm supposed
to be a seasoned
fighter It feels
like my first hit
and it hurts like
I didn't see this
coming anyway yeah
it hurts like
hell So don't
tell the crowd
Verse 2:
Black eyes black
threads and bandages
for the fight Who
are the odds on
me or him? How
many tricks do I
know? And how can
I soften the blows?
Or can I avoid
them altogether?
Chorus 2:
But my heart isn't
in this I'm supposed
to be a seasoned
fighter It feels
like my first hit
and it hurts like
I didn't see this
coming anyway yeah
it hurts like
hell So don't
tell the crowd
but I'm gonna
let my guard
down You're the
only one now
Interlude: C--Am-G-
Chorus 3:
My heart isn't in
this I'm supposed
to be a seasoned
fighter It feels
like my first hit
and it hurts like
hell Black eyes
black threads
and bandages
It feels like
my first hit
and it hurts
like hell
My heart isn't
in this I'm
supposed to be a
seasoned fighter
Sang in backup:
I'll let you take me
