What did she do to you sir?
?????????? F*??????????????? C
Can't you see that you are twice the size of her?
D?????????????????????????? A#
It's not like she can stand up
????????? F*????????????????????? C
When you beat her down with your love
D??????????????????????????????????????? A#
Turn around and hear his screams as you toss his mom around
F*???????????????????????? C
He sees his loving father beating mommy down
D?????????????????????????????????? A#
You threw me into the wall and you told me to shut up
F*???????????????????? C??????????????? A# - C
That's what ignited me and then I blew up
??????????????? A# - C
Why can't I forget?
