Standard (EADGBE)

Well, I'm going to the hardware store.

I'm gonna buy you a really big hammer.

Girly won't you pull these nails out of my heart.

Then I'm going to the sporting goods store.

I'm gonna buy you a really heavy baseball bat.

Girly won't you knock these thoughts out of my head.

(Chorus)

Beat me till I'm black and blue

And I'm hangin' by a thread.

And I can get back up

And we can do it all over again.

(Verse)

Well, I'm going to the liquor store.

I'm gonna buy you a really big bottle.

Girly won't you pour some light into my life.

Then I'm going to the firearms store.

I'm gonna buy you a really pretty hand gun.

Girly won't you blow this mess out of my mind.

(Chorus)

Beat me till I'm black and blue,

And I'm very nearly dead.

And I can get back up

And we can do it all over again.
