This is the first time that I have ever attempted to figure out the
chords to a song, so I probably have many mistakes here. I'll update
it if I ever get any error reports. For example, I am not sure to
play an Em or F. I think it is Em.

A C
He had a black eye,
F
he was proud of,
C
like some of his friends,
A
they didn't feel,
C
somewhere outside,
G Em
of everything and everywhere,
C
he'd been.
A C
Like his brothers,
F
he emptied himself,
C
and played it safe,
A
like their father,
C
he wanted to remember,
G Em
but he almost always forgot,
C
what he was gonna say.
A C /G Em/

Black Eye
A C
When he'd realized,
F C
that this one is here to stay,
A C ?
he took down all the mirrors in the hallway,
G Em C
and thought only of his younger face.
