[Verse 1]
Dm A#/D
The planets are shaking their heads at the earth
C Am A#
Oh what has become of their sister in blue
Dm A#maj7
Don't be deterred, agent provocateur
C Am A#
As you parade while you know someone's aiming at you
Csus4 C Csus4 C
People's backstreet ways fall into place
A#
Tokens to be found
Csus4 C Csus4 C Am
They track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
Make your choice, they wanna make you raise your voice
Dm7 A#sus2
to fight for a change: It's always the same
F Am/E
And what if this life is feeling like a world of bliss to you
A# C
And you don't feel like going against the grain today
[Chorus 1]
Em C D Am
I believe
C G/B D
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
Em D/F# Bm C
To defy defiance and swallow evil
D Am
Here come the shadow eaters
Em C D Am
I believe
C G/B D
although you shouldn't watch them without safety glasses
Em D/F# Bm C
They strike at sunrise, Angel squad
D Am
Here come the shadow eaters
[Verse 2]
Dm A#/D
One hundred seventy five zillion and three thousand eight
C Am A#
Hundred and twenty nine lives in history approximately
Dm A#/D
Laid at the door of Him who never knew and if He did
C Am A#
I'm not quite sure that He would quite have agreed
Csus4 C Csus4 C
backstreet ways, into place
A#
Tokens to be found
Csus4 C Csus4 C Am
track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
Chase down grief to wallow in and make believe
Dm7 A#sus2
You ain't gonna win whatever way: We're all gonna die
F Am/E
Mean and sly, and somewhere in between there's life they say
A# C
But if we're not made to overshadow black?
[Chorus 2]
Em C D Am
I believe
C G/B D
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
Em D/F# Bm C
To defy defiance and conquer evil
D Am
Here come the shadow eaters
Em C D Am
I believe
C G/B D
you don't see'em with or without safety glasses
Em D/F# Bm C
They strike at sunrise, Angel battalion
D Am
Here come the shadow eaters

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