      Black Eyes by Radical Face


~ = Silent
Standard tuning

This is clearly not the original tune but with these chords it's easier to play
 as a beginner and it's also easier for people who have a lower singing range to sing


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


 C       Em     C         Em
 while I slept, you crept in
                G         D        C     D
 and pulled the rug right out from under me
 C      Em    C        Em
 in the rain, y' stole away
              G           D       C      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


 C G D


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


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


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

     Em               C            G              D               Em
 and my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you.
