GSo you think that you have found EmA better life that you should live CAnd you're through givin' it all away AmI wish there's something I could say
GLike the time you looked into the mirror EmAnd saw someone else lookin' back CI wish I could find the words AmBut there's nothing that even comes close
Chorus
D'Cause there ain't nobody ever looked at me AmWithout lookin' right through me DThere ain't nobody ever looked at me AmWithout lookin' right by mCe GAnd you can't go D/F#on when the knEmife feelEm/Ds like juAm7stice

GWhen the sun dies down and the air grows cold EmAnd the moon plays tricks in the night AmCrawlin' low like a snake out of sight DYour guide is the northern light
GYou wanna laugh, say I'm insane EmDon't have the sense to come in from the rain CI know how to keep myself betAmween the drops
Chorus
DThere ain't nobody ever lDsus4ooked at Dme AmWithout lookin' right through me DThere ain't nobody ever lDsus4ooked at Dme AmWithout lookin' right Cby me GAnd you can't D/F#go on when theEm knifeEm/D feels like Am7justice
