The Greatest Fighter

G                                  B
When the streets are empty late at night
G                                B
Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright
C                Cm
Rain is falling, trees are still
   G                     Em
My mind is racing but my heart is as well
         Am    D       G
It's not funny, it's a shame

G                                B
He's the greatest fighter in the world
G                          B
Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl
C                     Cm
He'll get better, the scars will heal
    G                      Em
His eyes will open but his heart never will
         Am    D       G
It's not funny, it's a shame

Em
There's a funny side to it all
C
Seeing someone else take a fall
Am
When it's you it happens to, sending you
G                   Bm                 Em
Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on

Such a funny side to it all
C
Take another tumble and fall
Am                             Bm (hold)
Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on

[Solo - same chords as verse]

G                                           B
Different strokes for different folks, it's true (so true)
G                                B
Changes in our lives go right on through and through
C                 Cm
It gets better as time goes on
G                    Em
Some of us are gonna end up alone
         Am    D       G
It's not funny, it's a shame

There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone else take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on

There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone else take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you

My mind is racing but my heart is as well
It's not funny, it's a shame

He's the greatest fighter in the world
Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl
He'll get better, the scars will heal
His eye will open but his heart never will
It's not funny, it's a shame

There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone else take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on
