[G]His [D]self [G]respect starts [D]to fall[G]
His frustra[D]tion
[G]Running very ver[D]y hig[G]h he [D]takes it out
On [G]the ones he [D]loves,
[G]bec[D]ause it's safe

[G]Of what a bru[D]tal world [G]can do to you[D][G]
So she [D]loves [G]a man
He [D]lies like a [G]dog
[D]Tears her little [G]world all [D]apart
[G]So the walls g[D]o up[G]
For the [D]rest [G]of her days
And there ain't no man can [A]touch this
Girls [D]heart

Soldier's [D]steel- toed boot[G]s
And the rent we pay [A]to stay here
Gets [D]high
