(capo 5? casa)

E5          G5
   He had a black eye
       C5
He was proud of
                 G5
Like some of his friends
            D5              E5
It made him feel somewhere outside
E5    C5         C5  D5                   G5
     Of everything     and everywhere he'd been

Like his brothers
He emptied himself
And played it safe
Like their father
He wanted to remember
But he almost always
Forgot what he was gonna say

D5   E5         E5  C5  D5
    Black eye
      G5
Black eye

When he realized
That this one was here to stay
He took down
All the mirrors in the hallway
And thought only of his younger face

Black eye
Black eye
