GVerse
G Rolled out of bed, threw some water on my face G Twenty-five sit-ups and I run in place C G I put the coffee on, but the pot ain’t clean F C G Yeah, all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine
Verse
G A handful of vitamins, drop them on the floor G My ex-girlfriends’ are laughing from the icebox door C G I put their photos up there, yeah, we talk all the time F C G But they ain’t talking back now, the pugilist is 59
Verse
G Cold chicken salad, a glass of iced tea G Phone bills, gas bills, electricity C G And the mortgage and the junk mail, one old Father’s Day card F C G Yeah, go sweat it out, kid, it’s a 108 in the yard
Verse
G Water the lawn, trim them old trees G Pray that your gut don’t fall down to your knees C G And Archie Moore whispers in your ear, "Get up, kid, you’re in your prime" F C G Now, now the champ’s on the ropes, Arch, the pugilist is 59
Chorus
Am And the rock and the roll G And the fight for your soul goes on and on Am You put on the gloves C You’re always ready for love D Pray your passion ain’t used up and gone, yeah

Verse
G The harder we love, the harder we fall G It’s cauliflower hearts and old medicine balls C G And back street affairs in all the water tank towns F C G Well, there’s a mighty thin line between a heavyweight champ and a used up old clown
Verse
G But this is Hollywood, kid, fear strikes out G Miracles turn around one-sided bouts C G Get off the floor, kid, the sweet science of them old romantic lines F C G Hey, the champ's coming back, boys, the pugilist is 59
Chorus
Am And the rock and the roll G And the fight for your soul goes on and on Am You put on the gloves C You’re always ready for love D Pray your passion ain’t used up and gone, yeah
Verse
G Roll out of bed, water on your face Twenty-five sit-ups, run in place C G You put the coffee on, but the pot ain’t clean F C G I said, all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine F C G Yeah, all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine F C G I said, all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine
