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.


Structure of Song: ( '/' seperates measures )
A / C / F / C / A / C / G Em (or F) / C
A / C / F / C / A / C / G Em (or F) / C
A / C / G Em (or F) / C
A / C / F / C / A / C / G Em (or F) / C
A / C / G Em (or F) / C


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/

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.
