verse 1  

Em          C  
She was confused and  
 G               D  
Abused in this life  
Em             C  
Emotional and violent moments  
G                   D  
Seemed to take the longest time  
Em                           C  
Every single night i tried to find the other half  
G                       D  
Apologies and dignity denied  
Em                      C  
He starts to laugh he starts to lie  
      G             D  
With suddenly psychotic eyes.  

 
C                 D  
Every night she cried herself  
      Em                Bm  
To sleep she didn't recognize  
C                      D               Em  
Her own face in the mirror black and blue  
C             D  
So afraid intimidation  
Em                Bm  
Like a child she hides away  
           C             D  
He would always try to justify  
             Em     C    G   D  
What wasn't true  
                 Em  C    G    D  
Justified black eye  

verse 2:  

Em         C  
Taken for granted  
       G            D  
She sleeps by the phone  
Em             C  
Waiting for a call from him  
         G                D  
But it seems he's never coming home  
Em        C  
14 beers later  
         G               D  
He is there without an answer  
Em               C  
Once again she questions his lies  
     G               D  
He goes to bed with no reply  

 
C                   D  
Tomorrow morning different story  
 Em               Bm  
And he'll be a different guy  
       C           D               Em  
He'll justify her black eye with another lie  
    C                   D  
She packs her bags in great temptation  
     Em                Bm  
Heâ´ on his knees again he cries  
   C                     D  
A hug & a kiss and a don't know why  
      Em  
As a tear drops from her swollen eye  
  Bm  
Apologies until tonight and another  
                Em  C   G  D  
Justified black eye  
                Em  C   G  D    D D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D  
Justified black eye
