If I Had Eyes by Jack Johnson
If I Had Eyes
[Verse 1]
D A G
If I had eyes in the back of my head, I would have told you that
Em
You looked good As I walked away
D A
And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
G Em
You would've never been hungry But you never really be
D A
The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
G Em A
or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore
[Chorus]
D Em G D
Sometimes time doesn't heal No not at all
D Em G D
Just stand still While we fall
D Em G D D Em
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
G D
When you got eyes like that
A-Am-A-Am-A-Am-A
It won't let me in
D-A-G-Em
Always looking out
[Verse 2]
D A
Lot of people spend their time just floating
G Em
We were victims together but lonely
D A
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
G Em
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
D
Building with bent nails we're
A G Em A
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time
[Chorus]
D Em G D
Sometimes time doesn't heal No not all
D Em G D
Just stand still While we fall
D Em G D D Em
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
G D
When you got eyes like that
A-Am-A-Am-A-Am-A
It won't let me in Always lookin out

If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would have told you that
You looked good
As I walked away
And if you could've tried to trust the hand that failed
You would've never been hungry
But you never really be
The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
Or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore
Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not at all
Just stand still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
Always looking out
Lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're
Falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time
Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not all
Just stand still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
Always looking out
Always lookin'
Always lookin'
Always lookin'
Always looking out
