Hidden from your  view In the blue corner that I painted myself in-to      Then we started to fight And it changed everything here’s the ring [Bridge] You dropped the band I can’t understand it Not after all we’ve been through Words start to fly my glass jaw and I Will find one to walk right in-to. You knocked me out It was the sweetest punch the bell goes... | /  /  /  / | [Chorus 1] I can hear it ringing but I didn’t see it coming We all say things we don’t mean You can’t take it back Now the room is spinning but was I the last to notice? I can see I’ll never win So if you’re going Then you better go to him Then you better go to him. e ------------|--3---5-----9------| B --3---3---------|------------| G --0---2---------|---------7--6------| D ---------0------|--5---7--0---------| A -----------4----|------------| E ------------|------------| [Verse 2] I     only saw stars I dropped my guard and that’s how it en-ded What was I to do In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspen-ded?    Then with seconds to go You delivered the blow here I go... [Bridge] You dropped the band I can’t understand it Not after all we’ve been through Words start to fly my glass jaw and I Will find one to walk right in-to.
