[Intro]
A     D     Esus4      E      A
A     D     Esus4      E      A
A                                D
They talk about their women too much
Esus4             E          A
The women got 'em so confused
                                      D
They don't talk about their lives as such
        Esus4    E          A
My life is all I got to lose
                             D
You take it with a grain of salt
    Esus4          E          A
And laugh at the complexities
                                  D
They're good at pickin' all the faults
        Esus4            E            A
I keep laughin' so they don't pick me
[Chorus]
      D         A          E
     Jesus if I had to quit tonight
         D              A          E
     I'd never know if I was wrong or right
          D           A
     But that's just what you get
      E                 Bm7    A  E
     You got to go the distance
                            A          D
     If you want to fight a good fight
       E7     A
     A Good fight
                                      D
     Keep it up and keep a good fight
       E7         A
     A Good Fight
    A                   D
The telephone begins to ring
  Esus4          E      A
That could only be one call
                          D
I might as well be on the moon
   Esus4           E     A
Or standin' in my shower stall
                            D
Can't believe she picked it up
     Esus4           E      A
She didn't know the rules somehow
                      D
Then I hear her say hello (hello)
  Esus4      E         A
Panic in the grey room now
[Chorus]
      D         A          E
     Jesus if I had to quit tonight
           D              A          E
     She'd never know if I was wrong or right
          D           A
     But that's just what you get
      E                 Bm7    A  E
     You got to go the distance
                            A          D
     If you want to fight a good fight
       E7     A
     A Good fight
                                      D
     Keep it up and keep a good fight
       E7         A
     A Good Fight
[Instrumental]
     A                   D
You never know until you try
     Esus4            E          A
It's hard to see the side you're on
                            D
Some people say I'm halfway here
     Esus4            E      A
Some people say I'm halfway gone
[Chorus]
      E         B          F#
     Jesus if I had to quit tonight
         E              B          F#
     I'd never know if I was wrong or right
          E           B
     But that's just what you get
      F#                C#m7   B  F#
     You got to go the distance
                            B          E
     If you want to fight a good fight
       F#7    B
     A Good fight
                                      E
