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
