[Verse 1]

Am F G

I know the stories behind the bruises

When I've been the shoulder you've been the reason for her tears

Am F G

And her tellin' you it's over's useless

F G

You keep callin' her phone, drivin' by when I'm not here

Am F G

She's beggin' me not to lose my temper

Am F G

Lord, I've tried, but hell my patience is runnin' thin

Am F G

The best thing you can do is forget her

F G

'Cause so help me God, if you ever touch that girl again

[Chorus]

A5 C5 A5 C5 A5 G5 F5 G5

You got me growlin' like a pit bull, brother I'm about to lock my jaws

I'm a time bomb tickin' a real live wire

Boy a shot in the dark, I'm a bullet in a bonfire
