If I Had Eyes Chords

(ver. 3)
Jack Johnson


This is the solo, acoustic version that Jack performed during his performance for BBC Radio.

He uses barre chords for basically the entire song and plays in a lower key than his 
versions, but you can use standard chords and it’ll sound fine.

Verse (barre chords)
C                    G2
If I had eyes in the back of my head
        F                                  Dm7           C  
 F  Dm7
I would tell you that you looked good as I walked away
C                                  G2
If you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
             F                         Dm7               C  
 F  Dm7
You would've never been hungry but you never really be
    C                               G2
The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
F                       Dm7                          G
or we just holding onto things that we don't have anymore


Chorus (standard or barre)
          C            Dm7  F         C
Sometimes time doesn't heal no not at all
   C           Dm7   F        C
It just stands still while we fall
C     Dm7         F       C
In or out of love again I doubt
          C       Dm7               F         C
I'm gonna win you back when you got eyes like that
                  G
They won't let me in
               C  G2  F  Dm7
Always looking out


C                           G2
A lot of people spend their time just floating
F               Dm7
We were victims together but lonely
C                        G2
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
      F                       Dm7
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
C                              G2
Building with bent nails we're falling but holding
F                     Dm7             G
I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
G
Time time time


          C            Dm7  F         C
Sometimes time doesn't heal no not at all
   C           Dm7   F        C
It just stands still while we fall
C     Dm7         F       C
In or out of love again I doubt
          C       Dm7               F         C
I'm gonna win you back when you got eyes like that
                  G
They won't let me in
               C     G2  F  Dm7
Always looking out...oooooooooh
               C     G2  F  Dm7
Always looking out...oooooooooh
              C
Always looking out
