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
