[Intro 1]
[Em][C]
[Am][G#]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
How do we [C]agree?
How do we ex[Am]ceed?
Places that our [G#]lives have
[Em]taken
Sharpened instru[C]ments
Failed [Am]experiments
Faces of the [G#]oc cupation
[Em][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Boxing[Em] helps. I guess,
I think it [C]toughens your mind
I think you push yourself beyond certain
[Em]lim [C]its, past[G][Em]
The worst [C]thing in the world is to
be in a fight and to get tired
[B]You don't want to
[Em]get tired [D#]in a fight

[Verse 3]
Say that you can [B]show [Gaug]me
You don't [Gm]know me
You [A]want to live [C]oh
Say that you can [Em]own me
[B]You think you kno[E]w me[Esus4]
but you're wrong
[E][Em]
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
No matter [G#]how much natural
ability you have
There's a lot of working at it
You know, you don't need,
[Em]Muhammad Ali was a great fighter
But if he didn't train as
hard as he did, he
You'd never [C]hear the name
Muhammad Ali become
You have to train [Am]hard
You have to devote yourself [Em]one hundred percent
[G#]

[Interlude 1]

[C][Am]
[G][Am][G#][Em]

[Verse 5]
You can't be a success [C]if you
don't have any part of it
Like if you don't have discipline. You
need discipline
[G]You need discipline to do things
[Em]And the[C][Em]
[C][G]
discipline is you do it without things,
you know?
[Em]No matter if we say we believe

[Verse 6]
[C]this,
we believe that
You know there's certain things
we believe
[Bm]But just[B] how stron[D#]gly we believe is a matter,
you know
It's what we want to believe
A force much stronger
[B]than us, a power
[Gaug]A power much more powerful,
[Bb]you know? But [Gm]we still don't know
[A]No matter how much we think we believe
[C]We still tremor at the
[B]thought of dying
We shiver [E]almost[Esus4][E]
died, you know?
There's something out there
But just to [Em]me it's like the great unknown. You

[Interlude 2]
know? I don't know.
[C][Am]
[G#][Em]
[C][Am]

[Verse 7]
One of the most important things in life [G#]Is
to have people who care
about you, and you care about
You know [Em]Love is the magic word,
it is, you know?
If it wasn't for love I wouldn't
[Em]be here today
