( C  E/G#  Am ) 
 
        Am           G            E            Am     
She's a stone cold straight-faced killer and a lover 
    C/G        E/B        Am      G         E             Am 
And she won't put up with another brute who only wants to bruise her 
C/G      E/B           Am 
Take her love and then abuse her 
     C             E     Am 
She won't take no more, won't take no more 
C/G            E/B  Am 
Won't take no more, won't take no more 
 
G      G    F#  F  E     E  F  F# 
Oh no ain't it a drag 
G                    G   F#  F  E 
If you take a swing, she swing back 
                              Am  
She say I'm not your punchin' bag 
 
                   C            E/B 
Heaven help ya I'm telling the truth 
Am                   C          E 
Heaven help ya she's coming for you 
Am                  C/G          E/B 
Heaven help ya the girl likes to fight 
Am 
Afraid of nothing and she carries a knife 
 
          Am     C/G          E/B       Am 
She said (oh no) I'm not your punchin' bag (oh no) 
C            E         Am 
I'm not your punchin' bag (oh no) 
C/G           E/B      Am 
I'm not your punchin' bag

                 Am 
What kind of man are you? 
   G        E               Am 
Instead of kisses you gave bruises 
C/G      E/B            Am 
No more time for cheap excuses 
  G        E               Am 
If I were you, I would be leaving 
C/G      E/B                    Am 
Best you go while you're still breathing 
    C             E     Am 
She won't take no more, won't take no more 
C/G           E/B   Am 
Won't take no more, won't take no more
