Shield Your Eyes

	  		
Verse 1:
Em 
There was a sun once 

It lit the whole damn sky 
         F#m 
It kept everything 
D            Em 
Everything alive 
Em 
And there was a man once 

He looked it straight in the eye 
       F#m 
He saw everything 
D 
Everything 
        Em 
He went blind 


A               Em 
The truth burns bright 
A                 Em 
There's too much there sometimes 
A          EM                F#     D 
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds 
A        Em 
Best to keep your eyes 
A            Em 
Stare at the sidewalk lines 
A        Em                  F#m 
Let lies lie, don't let them shine 
            D                     Em 
...let them shine, don't let them shine 


Verse 2:
Em 
The blind man staggers 

And he grabs at his eyes 
            F#m 
He can't do anything 
D               Em 
Everything is a lie 
Em 
Now he sits around 

And he stares at the walls 
            F#m 
He can't do anything 
D           Em 
Anything at all 


A               Em 
The truth burns bright 
A                 Em 
There's too much there sometimes 
A          EM                F#     D 
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds 
A        Em 
Best to keep your eyes 
A            Em 
Stare at the sidewalk lines 
A        Em                  F#m 
Let lies lie, don't let them shine 
            D                     Em 
...let them shine, don't let them shine 

F#m                   D 
Shield your eyes from all this misery 
F#m             D 
   Don't belong, don't belong
