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
