Intro: EBEBEB
He’s a bruiser, he likes to tease you
C#mA
He’s a loser, you think he needs you
EBEB
You always come back, you always come back for more
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
Chorus:
EB
Rosie strike back, Rosie strike back
C#mA
Hit the road and never look back
EBEBA
You can’t suffer your whole life living like that
EB
Get goin’, don’t pack
C#mA
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
EBEBEB
Keep walking Rosie, strike back
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
ChorusEB
Don’t take his world on your shoulder
EB
Don’t let your heart grow much colder
C#mA
There’s people out there who can help you
F#
If you let them help you, hey, Rosie
