( 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
