Rosie Strike Back

Intro:  E  B  E  B

E               B
He’s a bruiser, he likes to tease you
C#m           A
He’s a loser, you think he needs you
E                         B                    E    B
You always come back, you always come back for more

He winds up tight, out all night
Been drinkin’ down he’s looking for a fight
He knocks you down; you don’t even know what for

Chorus:
E                  B
Rosie strike back, Rosie strike back
C#m               A
Hit the road and never look back
E                     B                      E    B A
You can’t suffer your whole life living like that
E          B
Get goin’, don’t pack
C#m                   A
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
E            B             E    B   E  B
Keep walking Rosie, strike back

You think he’s changin’, weeks pass
He’s angry, lies coiled like a snake in the grass
The time will come when he takes it all out on you

He throws punches, you bear with him
Don’t take it on you, Rosie, don’t be his victim
You can’t carry the blame for what he’s puttin’ you through

Chorus

E                            B                       
Don’t take his world on your shoulder
E                              B
Don’t let your heart grow much colder
C#m                              A
There’s people out there who can help you
F#
If you let them help you, hey, Rosie

Chorus
