G
My hand to God
   Am
I didn't mean to
      G
After all
                 Am        G
Look what we've been through
                       Am
Men come in different shades
G                 Am
That's how we're made

G                          Am
The little house on Ellis Drive
G                Am
Is where I felt most alive
G                              Am
The oak tree covered that old Ford
   G               Am
I miss it Lord, I miss it Lord

Chorus:
        C   Asus4 G
These blood red eyes
       C  Asus4 G
Don't see so good
      C      Asus4       G     D
But what's worse is if they could
          C
Would I change my ways?
C Asus4 G        C  Asus4  G
Wasted times and broken dreams
C  Asus4 G            D
Violent colors so obscene
            C         Cm G
It's all I see these days
These days

Watch what you say, the devil is listenin'
He's got ears that you wouldn't believe
And, brother, once you go to him
It's your soul you can never, never, never retrieve

Chorus:
These blood red eyes don't see so good
But what's worse is if they could
Would I change my ways?
Wasted times and broken dreams
And violent colors so obscene
It's all I see these days, these days

(Hey)
These days, all I see these days
See these days, all I see
