Tony Sly – Justified Black Eye (Guitar)

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
Her own face in the mirror black & blue

 C           D          Em               Bm
So afraid intimidation like a child she hides away

         C              D                    Em
He would always try to justify what wasn't true

C     G     D                     Em   C   G   D
                  Justified black eye

 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
Fourteen 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
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 and 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
Justified black eye

                Em   C   G   D
