(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
