Lyrics Joey Cape and Tony Sly - Justified Black Eye

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 knockout dragout
G D
Fight they ever had
Em C
he starts to laugh he starts to lie
G D
with Suddenly psychotic eyes.


C D
Every night she cried herself
Em B
to sleep she didn't recognize
C D Em
Her own face in the mirror black and blue
C D
so afraid Intimidation
Em B
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


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 B
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 B
he´s 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
B
Apologies until tonight and another

Justified black eye


Em C G D
