You Knock Me Out

A
The lights drop
             E
The film starts
              D        A
And I can't stop grinning
                                             E                     D              A
like a punchdrunk moron on a truck driving northbound to take his girl pumpkin picking
                          F#m   E  A
Cuz she's in love with October
A                                D
And it's got me looking at it differently
E                         F#m           A                             D         E
and if you knew how I'd gotten used to things then you'd know that's fine with me.


             D           E
Because I'm cynical so often
                       F#m               A
it's nice to have something to be naive about.
               Bm                    E
But when they laugh, so sure and caustic
                     D
It used to knock me out
    E
but I can't even hear 'em now.


A E D E x2


A                  E               D             A
Two pictures, two days, and what changed, what changed?
A                                            E             D         A
It's all of the difference that cutting you out and owning up could make
A/G#      F#m                          A
Cuz girl, you were a cancer and I've carved you out
       D             E
and I never feel so sick now.


             D          E
Because I'm cynical so often
                      F#m                A
it's nice to have something to be naive about.
             Bm                  E
So let them laugh, so sure and caustic
                  D
It used to cut me up
    E
but I can't even hear 'em now.


Play  " A E D E " Through this whole part


You knock me out
You knock me out

You knock me out
You knock me out
Yeah, you knock me out


            D                     E
I said, "I know how things can crumble
       F#m                 A

and I know how things can drown
         E            D          A             E
but how long will it take me to turn my life around?"


                     D                   E
I used to sing, "I know how things can crumble
       F#m             A
and I know how people drown
         E            D          A             E
but how long will it take me to turn my life around?"


                    D                E
But now i sing, "I know how people crumble
          F#m              A
and I've seen how people drown
              E                D
I've got so close but I'm starting
    A             E
to turn my life around, around, around.
