Black Eyes

	  		Em... Em, G, D, G 


Em                        D              G 
when you last left me, my blood was in a jar 
         C       G       D     Em 
and you kept it on your mantlepiece 
  Em                          D             G     
I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me 
    C        G         D           C        G 
and keep the dogs from dragging me off with them 

 C       Em     C         G 
 while I slept, you crept in 
                Em        D        G     D 
 and pulled the rug right out from under me 
 C      Em    C          G 
 in the rain, you stole away 
              Em         D       G      D  
 and took the parts that kept me functioning 
     Em               C            G              D                Em 
 now my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you 

Em, C, G 

 and I said: “This life ain't no love song.” 
 while I marched on blindly 
 and my knuckles dragged across the walls 
 and the birds up there mock me, and the scenery's turned wicked 
 and your name is trapped beneath my tongue 

 all of the roads are one now, each choice is the same 
 all the roads, they are one now, each choice is the same 
 I won't show my hands now, I know this ain't a game 
 all the roads, they are one now, each choice is … 

 take a step, take another step, take another step 
 not a care for where they fall 
 you burned me, yeah, you've burned me,  
 yeah, you've burned me now one too many times 
 my thoughts are the cold kind 
 I got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes 

 and my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
