Capo 5th fret and throw in plenty of suspended chords

Em

Em       G
He had a black eye
C
He was proud of
G
Like some of his friends
D                           Em
It made him feel somewhere outside
Em   C            D          G
Of everything and everywhere he'd been

Em       G
Like his brothers
C
He emptied himself
G
And played it safe
D               
Like their father
              Em
He wanted to remember
Em               C   D         
But he almost always 
 D                       G
Forgot what he was gonna say

D Em Em/D C D
Black eye
G
Black eye

Em       G
When he realized
C            D            G
That this one was here to stay
D                                   Em
He took down all the mirrors in his hallway
C               D               G    
And thought only of his younger face

D Em Em/D C D
Black eye
G
Black eye

then - 
Em / G / C / D / G 

...end on G 

on every G he puts in the strumming something like - 
e|---------|
B|---------|
G|---------|
D|---------|
A|-2h3-3-2-|
E|---------|
