Justified Black Eye

Em          C          G             D
She was confused and abused in this life
   Em          C
Emotional and violent moments
G                   D
Seemed to take the longest time
Em                  C                 G          D
Every single knockout dragout fight they ever had
Em                      C              G                   D
He starts to laugh he starts to lie with suddenly psychotic eyes

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

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

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