Bright Eyes es una banda de indie rock conformada por el guitarrista y cantautor Conor Oberst, el multiinstrumentista y productor Mike Mogis, y una alineación rotativa de colaboradores provenientes principalmente de la escena indie de Omaha, Nebraska. La facilidad que tiene Oberst para la crítica social y la filosofía le han hecho ganarse comparaciones con Bob Dylan, aunque sus temas más oscuros, de depresión, ansiedad y alcoholismo tienen más reminiscencias a Leonard Cohen o a Simon Joyner.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

All the other chords or tabs for this song are pretty much correct, but this is the exact way Conor plays the chords in the song. I figured it out from watching him play it at a show.
CHORDS: (all of them are played this way throughout the entire song) C/G x G x F x G7 x Amin x D7 x D x Emin 0 x x x x 1 x x 0 0 0 2 0 2 5 4 0 2 0 3 3 2 4 5 2 3 2 3 2 0 5 5 2 3 3 x 3 x x x 0
C/GGF The rain, it started tapping on the window near my bed. There was a loophole G7Amin in my dreaming, so I got out of it. And to my surprise my eyes were wide and FD7D already open. Just my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had
just been.
C/GGF So I dressed myself and left them, out into the gray streets. But everything G7Amin seemed different and completely new to me. The sky, the trees, FD7 houses, buildings, even my own body. And each person I encountered, I D couldn't wait to meet.
C/GG And I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health. I said "there is FG7 nothing that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself." He said "Oh AminFD7 yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that would help." So I sat with him D a while and then I asked him how he felt.

C/GGF So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes G7Amin must do some raining if you ever want to grow. But when crying don't help FD7 and you can't compose yourself, it's best to compose a poem, an honest verse D of longing or a simple song of hope. C/GG And that's why I'm singing, "Baby,don't worry, cause now I got your back. F And every time you feel like crying, G7Amin I'm gonna try and make you laugh. But if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, FD7 then we will wait for it to pass, and I will keep you company through those DC/GG days so long and black. And we'll just keep working on the problem we know FG7 we'll never solve, of Love's uneven remainder, our lives are fractions of a AminF whole." But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a D7D wall. Then I think we would see the beauty then. We would stand staring in
awe FEminAminFEminAminFEminAmin at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges, like a story told by the GG7 fault lines and the soil.
