Bm                          G                   A
Everyday I wake up with my back against the wall
Bm                          G                   A
Anytime you get up someone wants to see you fall
    G                                    Bm          A
If you're afraid to lose it all, you're never gonna win
         G                       Bm              A
I'll be giving you the finger, Sticking out my chin
 G              Bm  A
Boom, boom, boom
                G
Here comes the boom, boom, boom

Chorus:
                Bm
Here comes the knockout
            G
My time is right now
              A
Turning your lights out
              Bm
I'm throwing down
                G
Here comes the knockout
            A
Until the last round
              Bm
I'm throwing down
            G                    A
Go start a fire, go start a fight
                             Bm
No regrets, this is your life
                 G
Here comes the knockout
            A
My time is right now
              Bm
I'm throwing down

Are you living in a nightmare?
Are you living in a dream?
Do you stand for something?
Will you fall for anything?
It's easier to count me out,
but you can count me in
'Cause I'm giving you the finger
And sticking out my chin
Boom, boom, boom
Here comes the boom, boom, boom

Chorus:
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life (Hey!)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down, down, down
Down, down
Throwing down, down, down
Down, down

 G
Did you really live your life
    Bm              A
Or did it pass you by?
  G
What's it take to tell yourself
    Bm            A
You really were alive
G Bm            A
Look me in the eye

Chorus:
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life (Hey!)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down
