[Verse 1]
Em C/E
The planets are shaking their heads at the earth
D Bm C
Oh what has become of their sister in blue
Em Cmaj7
Don't be deterred, agent provocateur
D Bm C
As you parade while you know someone's aiming at you
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
People's backstreet ways fall into place
C
Tokens to be found
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Bm
They track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
G Bm
Make your choice, they wanna make you raise your voice
Em7 Csus2
to fight for a change: It's always the same
G Bm/F#
And what if this life is feeling like a world of bliss to you
C D
And you don't feel like going against the grain today
[Chorus 1]
F#m D E Bm
I believe
D A/C# E
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
F#m E/G# C#m D
To defy defiance and swallow evil
E Bm
Here come the shadow eaters
F#m D E Bm
I believe
D A/C# E
although you shouldn't watch them without safety glasses
F#m E/G# C#m D
They strike at sunrise, Angel squad
E Bm
Here come the shadow eaters
[Verse 2]
Em C/E
One hundred seventy five zillion and three thousand eight
D Bm C
Hundred and twenty nine lives in history approximately
Em C/E
Laid at the door of Him who never knew and if He did
D Bm C
I'm not quite sure that He would quite have agreed
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
backstreet ways, into place
C
Tokens to be found
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Bm
track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
G Bm
Chase down grief to wallow in and make believe
Em7 Csus2
You ain't gonna win whatever way: We're all gonna die
G Bm/F#
Mean and sly, and somewhere in between there's life they say
C D
But if we're not made to overshadow black?
[Chorus 2]
F#m D E Bm
I believe
D A/C# E
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
F#m E/G# C#m D
To defy defiance and conquer evil
E Bm
Here come the shadow eaters
F#m D E Bm
I believe
D A/C# E
you don't see'em with or without safety glasses
F#m E/G# C#m D
They strike at sunrise, Angel battalion
E Bm
Here come the shadow eaters

[Chorus 3]
G#m E F# C#m
I believe
E B/D# F#
Don't think you'll ever see them with your naked eye
G#m F#/A# D#m E
And they're tired of showing off on demand
F# C#m
They are shadow eaters
G#m E F# C#m
I believe
E B/D# F#
although we never see them, cause they fly from reason
G#m F#/A# D#m E F#
Tiny but forceful, I tell you
C#m
Those shadow eaters
E F# G#m F# Gm
