Chords

[Verse 1]

E
There was a sun once

It lit the whole damn sky

        F#m
It kept everything

D            E
Everything alive

E
And there was a man once

He looked it straight in the eye

       F#m
He saw everything

D
Everything

        E
He went blind

[Chorus]

B               E
The truth burns bright

B                E
There's too much there sometimes

B          E                 F#     D
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds

B       E
Best to keep your eyes

B            E
Stare at the sidewalk lines

B        E                   F#m
Let lies lie, don't let them shine

            D                     E
...let them shine, don't let them shine

[Verse 2]

E
The blind man staggers

And he grabs at his eyes

            F#m
He can't do anything

D               E
Everything is a lie

E
Now he sits around

And he stares at the walls

            F#m
He can't do anything

D           E
Anything at all

[Chorus]

B               E
The truth burns bright

B                E
There's too much there sometimes

B          E                 F#     D
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds

B       E
Best to keep your eyes

B            E
Stare at the sidewalk lines

B        E                   F#m
Let lies lie, don't let them shine

            D                     E
...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
