Black

Tom : Am
Am E

[Verse 1]
Am E
As the walls are closing in
Am E
And the colors fade to black
Am E Am E
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
Am E
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
Am E
And I never follow what’s right
Am E
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the
Am E
Sadness and pain the truth brings to light

[Chorus 1]
F G
’Cause I can’t see no reason
E F
What is blind cannot see
G
’Cause I want what is pleasin’
E F
All I take should be free
G
What I rob from the innocent ones
E F Am F E
What I’d steal from the womb

[Post-Chorus 1]
Am E
If I cried me a river of all my confessions
Am E
Would I drown in my shallow regret

[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Am E
As the walls are closing in
Am E
And the colors fade to black
Am E Am E
And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
Am E
And in darkness all that I can see
Am E
The frightened and the weak
Am E
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know
Am E
Nothing of at mercy are the meek

[Chorus 2]
F G
’Cause I can’t see no reason
E F
What is blind cannot see
