"When You Discover"
Sleepy Eyed
most underrated band ever
& a GRRRREEEEAAAT album!
capo 3rd 
Intro    G- G/ D#-      Em   G-  D-  C- G  
Verse    G- G/ D#- Em  
         G- G/ D#- Am  
         G- G/ D#- Em  
         G- G/ D#- C  
Come back when you are done
Looking down on everyone
Ain't it hard when you discover that you're dumb
Open up your sleepy eyes
Cut off all your family ties
Ain't it hard when you realize you're young
Chorus   C-  G-       D   C-  D- C  
All these noises in your head
Last time I saw you
You were dead
Roll your eyes back in your head
Mark the words that I have said
Come back when you realize you're dead
All these noises in your head
Last time I saw you
You were dead
Roll your eyes back in your head
But mark the words that I have said
And come back when you realize you're dead
End     C-  D-  C- G  
Ain't it hard when you discover that you're dead
