[Verse 1]
A#m F#/A#
The planets are shaking their heads at the earth
G# Fm F#
Oh what has become of their sister in blue
A#m F#maj7
Don't be deterred, agent provocateur
G# Fm F#
As you parade while you know someone's aiming at you
G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G#
People's backstreet ways fall into place
F#
Tokens to be found
G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G# Fm
They track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
C# Fm
Make your choice, they wanna make you raise your voice
A#m7 F#sus2
to fight for a change: It's always the same
C# Fm/C
And what if this life is feeling like a world of bliss to you
F# G#
And you don't feel like going against the grain today
[Chorus 1]
Cm G# A# Fm
I believe
G# D#/G A#
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
Cm A#/D Gm G#
To defy defiance and swallow evil
A# Fm
Here come the shadow eaters
Cm G# A# Fm
I believe
G# D#/G A#
although you shouldn't watch them without safety glasses
Cm A#/D Gm G#
They strike at sunrise, Angel squad
A# Fm
Here come the shadow eaters
[Verse 2]
A#m F#/A#
One hundred seventy five zillion and three thousand eight
G# Fm F#
Hundred and twenty nine lives in history approximately
A#m F#/A#
Laid at the door of Him who never knew and if He did
G# Fm F#
I'm not quite sure that He would quite have agreed
G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G#
backstreet ways, into place
F#
Tokens to be found
G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G# Fm
track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
C# Fm
Chase down grief to wallow in and make believe
A#m7 F#sus2
You ain't gonna win whatever way: We're all gonna die
C# Fm/C
Mean and sly, and somewhere in between there's life they say
F# G#
But if we're not made to overshadow black?
[Chorus 2]
Cm G# A# Fm
I believe
G# D#/G A#
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
Cm A#/D Gm G#
To defy defiance and conquer evil
A# Fm
Here come the shadow eaters
Cm G# A# Fm
I believe
G# D#/G A#
you don't see'em with or without safety glasses
Cm A#/D Gm G#
They strike at sunrise, Angel battalion
A# Fm
Here come the shadow eaters

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