G                Bm        Am
 Tie 'em up, and dress 'em down
G              Bm       Am
 Prove to everyone that I'm not messin' around
G               Bm      Am
 Show 'em how a vicious bull
    G                   Bm   Am
Can hide behind a smile that otherwise just glows
          Am
I'm gonna beat it through their skulls that


[Chorus]
C                 Bm
 I'm a lover, but I'll still fight
   G             D                 Am
Whoever makes my baby cry is gonna lose some teeth tonight
Am                        D
  So put your dukes up or head on home
    G                         Bm              Am
I'd hate for you to miss last call but you'll hate me even more
Am                     D                   (G)
 'Cuz I'm a lover, but I'll fight you right now

[Verse 2]
G  N.C.                          Bm     Am
       Well I've seen Road House thirty times
G                  Bm      Am
 Instead of the dialogue I memorized thе fights
G             Bm     Am
 So go ahead, bust a glass
     G                      Bm        Am
I'll even givе you one free swing but then I'll beat your ass!
          Am
'Cuz it's my way or the highway


[Chorus]
C                     Bm
'Cuz I'm a lover, but I'll still fight
   G             D                 Am
Whoever makes my baby cry is gonna lose some teeth tonight
Am                        D
  So put your dukes up or head on home
    G               D                         Am
I'd hate for you to miss last call but you'll hate me even more
Am                     D                   (G)
 'Cuz I'm a lover, but I'll fight you right now
