[Intro]
D G C G
[Verse 1]
D G
On a park bench sat a crimson beating heart
C G
And behind him the girls played double dutch in the park
D G
The sun began to burn his snow white skin
C G
I guess your either headin' somewhere or endin up somewhere..
D G
Storm clouds began to form in his head
C G
And crisscrossed his mind like a restless angry ocean
D G
And the howling of hardship and heartache
C G
Kneeled and grinned in his face
C
He stood there in his boots unable to move
Kid, I drove all night here to tell you I love you
[Chorus]
G D
And here lies my green eyes
C D
Rolled back in my head but they're alive
G D
And all the words can all get spoken
C D
But I know we tried
C
And you're forgiven
[Verse 2]
D G
He made his way down the boulevard
C G
Near the 99 cent stores and garbage in the yards
D G
And he began to sing
C G
About the crickets and the backroads where we used to play
D G
I guess your either headin' somewhere or endin up somewhere..
C G
I tried the bible, I tried the bottle, I tried the needle, and I tried to love people
D G
And in the end there ain’t nothing to say
C G
And in the end there ain’t nothing you can say anyway
C
And I stand here in my shoes, unable to move
Hat in my hands, at the bottom of the ocean
[Chorus]
G D
And here lies my green eyes
C D
Rolled back in my head but they're alive
G D
And all the words can all get spoken
C D
But I know we tried
C
And you're forgiven
G D
And here lies my green eyes
C D
Rolled back in my head but they're alive
G D
And all the words can all get spoken
C D
But I know we tried
C
And you're forgiven
