1. This ain't no battle honey, this ain't no fight.

4. Well if that's your game then honey two can play.
Eb Dm7
1. How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night?
2. I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own.

4. I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way.
Gm

We're living on the front line you & me.
Fighting on this battleground of misery.

Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin.
