Black-eyed by Placebo
Tabbed by Jose Cruz
Finally i got the correct version of this song, i saw the live Rock Am Ring Video, play
and you will hear that it sounds exactly like Brian Molko plays it.
The "secret" is the tuning of the guitar, its like this:
e
B
G
D
A
F#
Or you can use a capo on the 2nd fret with a standar tuning guitar.

I was never faithful and I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo and guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed a product of a broken home

I was never faithful and I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful that's why I spent my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed a product of a broken home... broken home

My guitar only has 21 frets so i cant use the frets 22 and 23 for the choruses, but
uses those frets when he plays Black-eyed live.
