[Intro 1]
[Em][C][G][D][Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]She was
[G]confused [C]and a[D]bus[G]ed in this life[D]
Emo[Em]tional an[G]d vio[C]lent mom[G]ents
[C]See[G]med to take the lon[D]gest time
[C]Every single knockout drag[G]out fight
They [D]ever had
He starts [Em]to laugh, he s[C]tarts to lie
[D]Sud[G]denly, [D]psychotic eyes

[Verse 2]
[C]Every night she [D]cried herself to [Em]sleep
She didn't recog[B]nize
[C]Her own face in the mir[D]ror, black and [Em]blue
[C]So afraid, [D]intimidation
[Em]Like a child she hides [B]away
He'd [C]always try to [D]justify
what wasn't [Em]true[C][G][D]
[Bm]Justifie[Em]d blac[C]k eye[G][D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Taken for [C]gran[D]ted,
[C]she [G]sleeps by the [D]phone[Em]
Waiting for a [C]call from him
But it [G]seems he's never
[D]coming home
[Em]Fourteen beers [C]later
He is [G]there without an an[D]swer
[Em]Once again, she [C]questions his lies
He [G]goes to bed with [D]no reply
To[C]morrow morning, dif[D]ferent story
[Em]An d he'll be a differen[B]t guy
He'll [C]justify her [D]black eye
with an[Em]other lie

[Verse 4]
She [C]packs her bags, in [D]great temptation
He's [Em]on his knees, again h[B]e cries
A [C]hug and a kiss and a [D]don't know why
As a [Em]tear drops from her
swollen eye
[B]Apologies until tonight and then another
[Em][C][G][Bm][Em][C][G]
[Bm]
[Em]Jus [C]tified black e[G]ye
