[Intro 1]
[D][Gm][D][Fdim][Em][F#m][Gdim][Aaug][D]

[Verse 1]
[A]Howard,
[D]the strangest things
Have [A]happened lately when [D]I
[A]Take a good swing
And [D]all my [Fdim]dreams
[F#m]They pivot and s[Fdim]lip.
I drop [Bdim]my fist[Em]s

[Verse 2]
And they're back, laughing.
[A]Howard, [D]my intentions
Be[A]come not to lose what I've [D]won.
Am[A]bition has [Aaug]given w[D]ay
To [Fdim]despera[F#m]tion and I[Fdim],
I've [Bdim]lost the fi[Em]ght from my eyes.
[A][Aaug]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Boxing's been [Gm]good to me,
[F#m]Howard.[Fdim]
[Em]Now I'm [A]told,
You're [D]growing [G]old.
The [Em]whole time we [A]knew
[F#m]A couple of [Bm]years I'd [Em]be through.
Has [A]boxing been [Am]good to [D]you?

[Interlude 1]
[D][Gdim]
[Aaug][D][Fdim][Em][F#m][Gdim][D]

[Verse 4]
[A]Howard, now [D]I confess
I'm [A]scared and [Aaug]lonely and [D]tired.
[A]Everyone says I'm [D]made of [Fdim]clay,
That [F#m]I've had my d[Fdim]ay,
That I'm [Bdim]not cut[Em] out for this.
I just [A]know what to [Aaug]say.
And I [D]say,

[Verse 5]
Boxing's been [Gm]good to me,
[F#m]Howard.[Fdim]
[Em]Now [A]I'm told,
You're [D]growing [G]old.
The [Em]whole time [A]we knew
A [F#m]couple of [Bm]years I'd [Em]be through.
Has [A]boxing been [Am]good
to you?
[D][Aaug]

[Verse 6]
[D]
Well, [F]sometimes I punch myself
[Bb]Hard as I can.
Yelling, [F]nobody [C]cares!
Hoping [Bb]someone will [Gm]tell me
[Eb]how wrong I am,
[Em]Howard.

[A][D]

[Verse 7]
Boxing's been [Gm]good to me,
[F#m]Howard.[D][Fdim]
[Em]Now [A]I'm told,
You're [D]growing [G]old.
The [Em]whole time we [A]knew
A [F#m]couple of [Bm]years I'd [Em]be through.
Has [Asus4]box ing been good,[Am]
Has [Em]boxing been good,
Has [Em]box ing been g[Am]ood?
