         Am           G            E            Am
She's a stone cold straight-faced killer and a lover
    C/G       E/B          Am       G       E
And she won't put up with another brute who only
          Am
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           F# F   E  F F#
Oh no ain't it a drag
G                         F# F  E
If you take a swing, she swing back
                              Am
She say I'm not your punchin' bag

Chorus:
                   C/G          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

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

Chorus

E
Last time, last time you're ever gonna
A
Last time, last time you're ever gonna
E
Last time, last time you're ever gonna
A
Last time, last time you're ever gonna

Oh no ain't it a drag
Everywhere you go, better watch your back
Cause I'm not your punchin' bag

Chorus
