(Verse)

G                               Cadd9   G
She doesn't dare go in the place
G
With those bruises on her face
       D
So she goes through the drive-thru
                  G        Cadd9   G
And keeps her sunglasses on

G                                        Cadd9 G
She didn't know when she married that man
G
She'd get to know him like the back of his hand
        D                                          G
But now she's had enough, and the battle lines are drawn


(Chorus)

Cadd9
He's in a bar chasing Cuervo with Tecate
G
He doesn't know she's been taking karate
Cadd9
The way she figures it about July
G                       D                 G
She'll finally have the belt to match her eye


Cadd9 - G - Cadd9 - G 


(Verse)

G                                    Cadd9   G
She's on a mission as the months pass
G
Five days a week and never misses a class
        D                                        G
And now she's up to breaking boards and concrete blocks


(Chorus)

Cadd9
He's in a bar chasing Cuervo with Tecate
G
He doesn't know she's been taking karate
Cadd9
Now here it is just about July
G                    D                 G
She's gonna get that belt to match her eye


INSTR.


(Bridge)

Em                      D
He stumbled through the door tonight
Cadd9                    G
And started treating her rough
Em                                     D
Well, she took one look at him and her training kicked in
    C                   D
And she'd finally had enough


(G muted)
He threw a punch, she spun around

Grabbed his arm and put him on the ground
                                                                 Cadd9  G
Grabbed a cuttin' board on his way down and she kicked it in half
G
His knees hit the floor, his chin hit a chair

Knocked out his tooth and it flew through the air

Grabbed his head by the back of his hair and slammed him into the fridge

She landed a left, a right and then a left

She landed a roundhouse right in his chest and a scissor punch upside his head

Broke his nose, swept a leg, he started to fall

And on his way down, she took a bow, and the lights went out


(Chorus)

Cadd9
He's on the floor like he went a round with Rocky
G
He didn't know she'd been taking karate
Cadd9
A hundred bucks says tomorrow night
G                     D                           G
She's got a brand new belt that's gonna match his eye


Cadd9 - G - Cadd9 - G  (2x)


G                              Cadd9   G
He doesn't dare go in the place
G
With those bruises on his face
      D
So he goes through the drive-thru
             G
With his sunglasses on


(Outro)

Cadd9 - G   ---- to fade
