I should write down these words before I lose them 
Tabs                              G 
 Or write you a song just to use them 
     C            G         C     G 
 Someday you may wanna know who I am, 
  C             G       C            G  
 Beyond this facade no guitar in my hand 
    C     D     G 
 No I am not a writer 

TABS                                  G 
 These eyes hold no secrets I hide no truths 
TABS                         G 
 I am all I am, all I was to you 
     C           G             C           G 
 The lie and the promise, the great escape artist 
     C            G              C                  G 
 The weed in your garden in that place youre still guarding 
       C    D     G 
 Where I am not a liar 

          C     G   C                    G 
 I am the fighter   though not a boxer by trade 
          C     G   D                    G 
 I am the fighter   few will remember my name 

  TABS                              G 
 These are hands that can offer protection 
  TABS                        G 
 But hid me from my own reflection 
   C                   G             C              G 
 Im that book that aint finished  a sink full of dishes,  
     C                 G           C                    G 
 The horse that aint winning  the priest thats still sinning 
      C          D         G 
 The spark that starts the fire 

          C     G   C                    G 
 I am the fighter  though not a boxer by trade

 I am the fighter  few will remember my name

 With loneliness next to me  feels its misery  nursing another black eye 
        C                     G 
 On the New Jersey turnpike  counting the headlights 
      C                            D 
 Those cars just like days pass me by 


          C     G   C                    G 
 I am the fighter  though not a boxer by trade
