Love The Way You Lie

Love the Way You Lie addresses the complexity of being in an abusive relationship, delving into themes of love, passion, and emotional pain. Drawing from Eminems past experiences and powered by Rihannas vocal performance, which also echoes her personal history with domestic violence, the song became an anthem for raising awareness about domestic abuse.

On the first page of our story
      G                 D 
The future seemed so bright
           Em                   C 
Then the saint turned out so e-vil
    G                          D 
I don' t know why I' m still surprised
      Em                  C 
Even angels have their wicked schemes
        G                    D 
And you take that to new extremes
             Em            C 
But you' ll always be my hero
       G                        D 
Even though you' ve lost your mind

             Em                       C 
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
             G                                D 
Well that' s alright because I like the way it hurts

Now there' s gravel in our voices
      G                 D 
Glasses shattered from the fight
       Em                       C 
In this tug of war you always win
    G                          D 
Even when I' m right
      Em                  C 
Cause you feed me fables from your head
      G                 D 
With violent words and empty threats
       Em                       C 
And it' s sick that all these battles
    G                          D 
are what keeps me satisfied
