Punches chords by Frank Turner

[Intro]

N.C.
Hey, every once in a 

Few months when

N.C.
All the punches land
 
Am Em Dm Am
 
[Verse]

     Am
Well f**k last year 

I’m glad it’s done

           Em
And here’s three weak cheers the

 Next will be a better one

Dm
Measuring my life in

 Unanswered messages

Am
Stressing all the little stuff, 

The thing that’s pathetic is

  Am
I haven’t slept sober 

In a long, long time

          Em                       
Because I start having arguments as 
                  Dm
Soon as I close my eyes
 
Vicious fights, 

Bitter and confusеd

        Am               
And the dumbest part is, 
                 G
Sometimеs I even lose

G
The will to start again
G
And every day feels like an end
 
 
[Chorus]

    C          F    C    
But hey, every once in a 
    F      C
Few months when

        G       Am
All the punches land

     C          F  C   
That day, I’m a tiger, 

  C     F   C
A prize fighter

         G       Am
At least worth a damn
 
 
[Verse]

Am
Damnit, goddamn, 

I went and f**ked it up

Em
Every single day like a 

Clock that’s stuck

     Dm
It’s another fine morning 

Rolling down in the muck

          Am
I’ve been trying to look up and 

Trying to find me some luck

Am
Every sunrise the cycle starts again
          Em
I’ve been walking into 

Glass doors since 7am

Dm
Trying to break the cycle, 

Trying to make some new friends

  Am
I guess it would be 

Easier than making amends

    G
And then I feel the buzz, the glow
G
Of one sweet day a 

Few months ago
 
[Chorus]

     C          F    C     
When hey, every once in a 
    F      C
Few months when

        G       Am
All the punches land
     C          F  C  
That day, I’m a tiger, 
  C     F   C
A prize fighter

         G       Am
At least worth a damn
 
C          F    C   
Hey, every once in 
      F     C
A few months when

        G       Am
All the punches land

     C          F  C   
That day, I’m a tiger, 

  C     F   C
A prize fighter

         G       Am
At least worth a damn
 
 
[Bridge]

G                          
   And I don’t want to be a 
Am            F          G
Beggar always asking for slack;

                                
Gonna take the things 
     Am 
They threw at me and 

F                G
Throw them right back

                  Am            
I’m tired of only ever trying to 
F              G
Do what I can;

                 Am             
The secret is to try and do the 
F
Things that you can’t
 
 
[Verse]

C
I can’t promise that 

I’m going to be fine

         G
But I’ll throw my best 

Punch every single time

F
Even though I’m skinny, 

Don’t know how to fight

             Am
I’ve got the makings of a 

Champion every once in a while

C
Twenty four seven, 

Three sixty five

    G
I'm holding up my head the

 Keep the dream alive

   F
Of one perfect day 

When the stars align

    Am
I’m fine, I’m fine, 

I’m fine, I’m fine

          G
I got the whole world in my sights
 
[Chorus]

    C
And hey, every once in a 

Few months when

N.C
All the punches land
N.C
That day, I’m a tiger, 

A prize fighter

N.C
At least worth a damn
 
N.C
Hey, every once in a 

Few months when

N.C
All the punches land
N.C
That day, I’m a tiger, 

A prize fighter

N.C             
At least worth a 
              C
Motherf**king damn
 
 
[Chorus]

         F  C   
Damn the haters, 

C        F   C
Damn the doubters

   G       Am      C
Today’s my special day

          F    C   
You can’t stop me, 

C     F     C
Can’t touch me

      G       Am
Can’t take it away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C          F    C   
Hey, every once in a 
    F      C
Few months when

        G       Am
All the punches land
     C          F  C  
That day, I’m a tiger, 
  C     F   C
A prize fighter

         G       Am
At least worth a damn
