Em


G
He was just a boy who never really had
Am



C
A safe and loving home or a smiling mom or dad
Em


G
Every night at ten, the fighting would begin
Am



C
And he would go to bed, wishing he was dead

CHORUS:
G
So open his eyes
C
Open his eyes
G
Open his eyes
C
And let him see
D
What’s been inside of him
Em
C
All his life

Em


G
Every day at school, the other kids would play
Am



C
But he’d look at the ground and slowly walk away
Em


G
And all the other boys, so caught up in their toys
Am



C
Turned their backs on him, never let him in
CHORUS
C
The girl he loved
G
She walked away
C
Cuz she couldn’t hear
G
What he wouldn’t say
D
And now he’s on his own
Em
Walking down the road
C


G
No one else can go through
CHORUS
