Shield Your Eyes chords by Jawbreaker

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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


Chorus:
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


Chorus:
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
