But I have never seen two eyes so shiny

Who try to tangle you
   C            Em
In sullen beery balls of twine

Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny?

Smoking cigarettes between

The bootblack fingertips
Cadd9   Cmaj7        Bm   Em
Sweetly tipsy by the half light
    G                  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em
The light and the half light

Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied
