Rosie Strike Back

[E]  [B]  [E]  [B]

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

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

[E]Rosie strike back, [B]Rosie strike back
[C#m]Hit the road and n[A]ever look back
[E]You can’t suffer your [B]whole life living like [E]that [B]   [A]
[E]Get goin’, [B]don’t pack
[C#m]Take the baby and the [A]clothes on your back
[E]Keep walking [B]Rosie, strike [E]back [B]     [E]        [B]

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

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