(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 




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

(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 



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 




(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) 
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 




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
