Fight Outta You
Ben Harper
A | |
They'll look you | in the eyes and stone you, then turn and disown you |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
A | |
they'll walk all | over your name, til they find someone else to blame |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
A | |
secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
A | |
they put the | world on a hook, it's worse every time I look |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
D | Bm7 | |
I would rather take the | punch |
F#m | |
than not give you a | shot |
D | Bm7 | |
I'd | rather find out who you | are |
F#m | |
Than who | you're not |
D | |
shoulda known better |
Bm7 | F#m | |
than to | mistake business for | love |
D | |
shoulda known better |
Bm7 | F#m | E | |
than to | mistake a fist for a | glove |
it will be in your honor til you're not needed any longer |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
don't believe the headlines, check it for yourself sometimes |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
the lies you live become you, the love you lose it numbs you |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
they say that you've arrived; that's just a high class bribe |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
I would rather take your punch |
than not give you a shot |
I'd rather find out who you are |
Than who you're not |
shoulda known better |
than to mistake business for love |
shoulda known better |
than to mistake a fist for a glove |
there's always someone younger, someone with more hunger |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
they'll say you're one and only, then straight up leave you lonely |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
like a transplant patient waiting for a donor |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
like a half empty balloon after a party in the corner |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
