Lagwagon - Black Eyes

      [Intro]
             D         A         Bm
He knows no shame and takes no blame
           G              A
This simpleton sees everything
                D             A              Bm
He's only satisfied to point out others' mistakes
          G              A
Never afraid to use his pride

[Verse 1]
D          A        Bm
   His tradition is old
                     G
His faith a hand-me-down
        A
The family
                       D
He wears them on his sleeve
             A          Bm
Morale and values left under a Christmas tree
G
He once had the gift
 A                               D
This image in his grandparents' eyes
     A        Bm        E       G
No guns, no drugs, no rape, no end
             D      A         Bm
His vacant soul is pale and blue
           G
In empty gaze
                 A                D
His crow's feet are a vision of defeat
          A             Bm
Sick and tired of the meaninglessness
    G
The irrationale
     A
He's desensitized
           D       A   Bm
His every need and emotion
           G
A cup half empty
     A
But full of euphoria
    D           A      Bm          E        G
He's searching for the lightswitch in the dark
                 A
To switch his routine

To find a reason
          D       A         G
To find faith and peace of mind
              D      A      G
When one too many beliefs died
              D             A          D
It's tough to see through these black eyes

[Verse 2]
D            G
Everyone forgives
D            G
Everyone forgets
D                E
Everyone here's true
     G                A
And no one here will lie to you
D       A        Bm
   He knows the truth
     E         G
He knows the truth
                   A
Here nothing's certain
    
Disregard what you've learned
          D         A        G
To find faith and peace of mind
               D        A          G
All of their gods died with his peace
              D         G         D
I should know him that heathen's me
