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
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.
