I know there's a lot of versions of this song already, but only version 4 seems to be on the right trail as I see it. Heath himself mostly plays this without capo from Em, but if you want to play along with the track, this is the way to go. Try it out.

VERSE1 DmBb Looked down from a broken sky, traced out by the city lights FC My world from a mile high, best seat in the house tonight DmBb Touched down on the cold black top, hold on for the sudden stop FC Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos
PRE-CHORUS DmBbGm All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared?
CHORUS DmBb Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see FC/E Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Dm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted Bb The ones that are far beyond my reach FC/E Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see DmBbFC/E Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
VERSE2 Dm Dm#5 Step out on a busy street, see a girl and our eyes meet FC/E Does her best to smile at me to hide what's underneath DmBb There's a man just to her right, black suit and a bright red tie FC/E Too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work, he's buying time
PRE-CHORUS DmBbGm All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared?
CHORUS DmBb Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see FC/E Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Dm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted Bb The ones that are far beyond my reach FC/E Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see DmBbFC/E Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
BRIDGE BbF I've been here a million times, a couple of million eyes BbFC Just move and pass me by, I swear I never thought that I was wrong BbF Well I want a second glance, so give me a second chance BbFC To see the way you see the people all along
CHORUS DmBb Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see FC Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Dm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted Bb The ones that are far beyond my reach F (C) Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see
DmBb Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see FC/E Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Dm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted Bb The ones that are far beyond my reach FC/E Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see DmBbFC/E Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah DmBbFC/G Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
