Brandon is tuned down a half-step.
He finger-picks (below) the first verse but you can play how you want to.
And everyone kept screwing up the Bridge. I have corrected it.
Verse 1: Em Looked down from a broken sky C Traced out by the city lights G My world from a mile high D Best seat in the house tonight Em Touched down on the cold black top C Hold on for the sudden stop G Breath in the familiar shock D Of confusion and chaos EmC Are those people going somewhere? Am Why have I never cared?
Chorus: Em Give me your eyes for just one second C Give me your eyes so I can see G Everything that I keep missing D Give me your love for humanity Em Give me your arms for the broken hearted C The ones that are far beyond my reach G Give me your heart for the once forgotten D Give me your eyes so I can see Em yeah C yeah G yeah D yeah
Verse 2: Em Step out on a busy street C See a girl and our eyes meet G Does her best to smile at me D To hide whats underneath Em Theres a man just to her right C Black suit and a bright red tie G To ashamed to tell his wife D He's out of work He's buying time EmC Are those people going somewhere? Am Why have I never cared?
Chorus: Em Give me your eyes for just one second C Give me your eyes so I can see G Everything that I keep missing D Give me your love for humanity Em Give me your arms for the broken-hearted C The ones that are far beyond my reach G Give me your heart for the once forgotten D Give me your eyes so I can see
Bridge: C Ive Been there a million times G A couple of million eyes C Just moving past me by GD I swear I never thought that I was wrong C Well I want a second glance G So give me a second chance C To see the way you see GD The people all alone
Chorus:(2x) Em Give me your eyes for just one second C Give me your eyes so I can see G Everything that I keep missing D Give me your love for humanity Em Give me your arms for the broken hearted C The ones that are far beyond my reach G Give me your heart for the once forgotten D Give me your eyes so I can see
