Intro:
           Eb
And in the red corner,
                 Eb
coming in at one million pounds,
                     Eb
and with a record of zero wins and one thousand losses,
                Eb
the defeatable, Bears in Trees

Interlude (x2): Eb Bb F Gm

Verse 1:
        Eb                     Bb
You set fire to the sofa I was sleeping on
          F                             Gm
With one simple sentence you stopped my life in its tracks
       Eb                              Bb
Became ash, a fraction of myself, lost at sea for years
      F                      Gm
And I always forgave you for that

Chorus:
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight

Interlude: Eb Bb F Gm

Verse:
           Eb
You made a knife out of my kindness
       Bb
You reflected my compassion
      F                             Gm
So I wouldn't see the steel in your hand
    Cm                          Bb
You cut me and bled out all the love I had
         Ab                  Gm
Weak and tired, I always forgave you for that

Chorus:
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight

Interlude: Bb Cm Eb F

Bridge:
      Eb           Bb            F
I had grey hanging heavy from my eyelids, an eternity
      Eb         Bb          F
And I always forgave you for that
    Eb                       Bb                F
But now I'm crying at every TV show, just some mildly sappy stuff
      Eb            Bb                   F
And I won't let the feeling of numb ever come back
            Eb                       Bb
But now you see, I'm still making it all about me
      F                           Gm
And I hope you can forgive me for that

Chorus:
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight

Chorus:
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight
Eb                     Bb
Why I oughta give that kid in the mirror
  F                   Gm
a swift right hook, a left, right, goodnight
