One on the nose,
one on the chin,
A
G
You bruise so easy, so why stay with him?
A
G
He uses you just like a
F#
B
human punching bag.
A
But you don't complain,
G
A
you're too scared to speak.
Anyway, it only really hurts
G
you when you laugh,
And when you eat.
A
But you can't break the pattern,
G
F#

week after week.

The bruises show,

G
A
oh.
G

Verse 2
G
A
That's quite a cut on the side of your head.
Is it from his fist,

Oh, so uncouth,
G
F#
Bm
B
Excuse me, is this your tooth?
A
G
A
G

Why do you stay, no one knows.

on the edge of tears.

when you get back home.
