Louisville Slugger

E                                  
Tomorrow she'll put make-up on the 
B
bruises
C#m                          A
Tomorrow she'll be making up excuses
    E
But I've known you since we were 
three
     B
What makes you think you can lie to 
me
    C#m
And I'm trying to respect your 
privacy
A
Despite the fact that it's killing 
me...
    E                           
You say you love him but I don't 
      B
know why
             C#m             A
He beats you up, he don't provide
          E                        
So you're stuck working doubles 
               B
down at the local dive
        C#m                        
Dodging dirty hands for a petty 
          A
wage but you bottle up the rage cos 
you gotta survive

[Chorus 1]
        E                         
I got a Louisville Slugger in the 
G#
back of my ride
C#m                    A         
Make the call and I'll be there 
       E
by your side
         C#m               G#     
Hey girl you don't have to take 
             A
that shit from anybody

[Verse 2]
     E                         
That sticky summer night in his 
     B
backseat
            C#m                A
He made you bleed, planted his seed
           E                       
Now you've got not one but two more
           B
 mouths to feed

           C#m                     
I know you wanted your kid to have 
          A
a dad but name is not the same as 
deed
  E                                
I know you know there's more to 
       B
life than this
           C#m                     
Taking the blame, the pain, 
          A
whenever he gets pissed
        E                       
Nothing stronger than a mother's 
              B
love for her only kid
           C#m                     
Except for maybe her battered 
          A
bones, bruised by blows from his 
father's fists

[Chorus 2]
        E                         
I got a Louisville Slugger in the 
G#
back of my ride
C#m                    A         
Make the call and I'll be there 
       E
by your side
         C#m               G#     
Hey girl you don't have to take 
             A
that shit from anybody
      E                         G#
Got a Louisville Slugger in the back
 of my ride
C#m                   A
Say the word and I'll make him 
fucking cry
E          C#m           G#     
You are my friend I will defend 
          A
until the end

[Solo]
E B C#m A
E B C#m A

[Verse 3]
     E                          
What happened to the girl that I 
      B
once knew
  C#m                         
I remember way back when, when 
 A
nobody could tell you what to do
        E                          
Now you just sit there and let 'em 
         B
turn the screws
C#m                        A
Hey girl I've said my piece, the 
rest is up to you

[Bridge]
        E                         
I got a Louisville Slugger in the 
G#
back of my ride
             C#m                   
Hey girl you gotta decide if this 
          A
is how you gonna live your life
E                       G#
Trapped like a rat in a bad 
situation
C#m                   A
Frozen by feelings of fear and 
frustration
        E                         
I got a Louisville Slugger in the 
G#
back of my ride
     C#m                        A
It's yours for the taking, your rage
 more than justified
       E              G#m         
Seeing red, black and blue, and 
                 C#m
you know that it's true
                       A
Yeah you know he won't stop til 
you're through

[Chorus 3]
        E                         
I got a Louisville Slugger in the 
G#
back of my ride
C#m                    A         
Make the call and I'll be there 
       E
by your side
         C#m               G#     
Hey girl you don't have to take 
             A
that shit from anybody
      E                         G#
Got a Louisville Slugger in the back
 of my ride
C#m                   A
Say the word and I'll make him 
fucking cry
E          C#m           G#     
You are my friend I will defend 
          A    E
until the end
