Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret

[Verse 1]
        C/G
He grew up in a house in the valley
                     Fmaj7/C
With a daddy who was one long cigarette
         C/G
And his momma walked out on a Friday night
       Fmaj7/C
With a man that she'd just met
          C/G
He liked walking the blacktop streets in the rain
       Fmaj7/C
In the dark when the city was dead
     C/G
The machine gone asleep he could hear himself think
       Fmaj7/C
And he liked what he saw in his head
             C/G        Fmaj7/C
Her sad blue eyes
              C/G       Fmaj7/C
Her sad blue eyes
         C/G
He found work at the yard picking apart cars
        Fmaj7/C
Out on Springfield and Lariat
           C/G
He likes a girl with scars on her arms
                     Fmaj7/C
That prove she ain't seen what she wants to yet
                   C/G     Fmaj7/C
With her sad blue eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
           G
Don't you see it boy
                              Am
Everything's a circle in this town
                 G
And the best you give can't fix
                Am
What cannot be found
           Fmaj7/C
Behind her sad blue eyes
           C/G
Behind her sad blue eyes
           Fmaj7/C
Behind her sad blue eyes
 
 
[Interlude]
C/G     Fmaj7/C     C/G    Fmaj7/C
(vocalization)
 
 
[Verse 2]
           C/G
He put his head to the stone working all day long
       Fmaj7/C
Saving up those dollars and dimes
             C/G
He's got his eye on a ring at the Oakwood Mall
       Fmaj7/C
And he likes how the diamond shines
          C/G
There's a quarter acre lot with a trailer on the spot
          Fmaj7/C
If he can work a deal out on time
         C/G
And they park across the street where they dream and they drink
       Fmaj7/C
And he says I'm gonna make you mine
                  C/G     Fmaj7/C
And your sad blue eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
           G
Don't you see it boy
                               Am
Everything's a circle in this town
                 G
And the best you give can't fix
                Am
What cannot be found
           Fmaj7/C
Behind her sad blue eyes
           C/G
Behind her sad blue eyes
           Fmaj7/C
Behind her sad blue eyes
 
 
[Interlude]
C/G    Fmaj7/C    C/G    Fmaj7/C
 
 
[Outro]
              C/G
When they're naked at night she whispers to him
   Fmaj7/C
I know you can make it alright
         C/G
But the damage moves in like a ghost from within
      Fmaj7/C                         C/G     Fmaj7/C
And a storm grows behind her sad blue eyes
             C/G
When they're naked night she whispers to him
  Fmaj7/C
I know you can make it alright
        C/G
But the damage moves in like a ghost from within
       Fmaj7/C                         C/G     Fmaj7/C    C/G
And a storm grows behind her sad blue eyes
