Black And White

(início)

E                             G
1  +  2 + 3  + 4  + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Intro:  E   G  (x12)
Verse:
G          E
Nothing makes my heart so wild as being
G       E                     G
In possession of a potent night,
E                                    G
Racing down the stairs in a nude descension
E
Shedding and discarding my hide
G        A                             C
But the bold strokes crack so quickly and it?s
A                    G
Often that I wonder why
E                                       G
Dripping at the slow motion rate of surrender
E
Hanging to my bones as they dry
G         D
How could I want something more
             A
than a new hell in which to fry
G      E                          G
When I see in only black and white
Bridge:  E   G   (x4)
Verse:
G          E
There?s a sinful sort of side of being
G         E                        G
so contained, A bit like being lost.
E                                                      G
Stumbling through the background like a small town loner
E                                  G
quietly a whispering my thoughts into
A                                C
my cupped hands, folded and monk-like,
A                                 G
at least thats what i?ve always said.
E                                              G
How does writing letters from the lonely margins
E
feel when there is no hair on my head?
G       D                       A
Is the solitude I seek a trap where i?ve been blindly led?
   G       E                         G
Tell me, where then do I go instead?
Solo:  E     G   (x13)
Verse:
G     E
When atonement comes in distant waves
G        E                         G
I might wait until the next to break
E                                               G
choking through forgiveness at a sun fly prompter
E
staring through the back of my face.
G      A                          C
It?s a vulgar, hidden part of being
A                             G
tethered to the world right now;
E                                        G
spending all my dollars to remain a member,
E
nothing in my eyes but a scowl.
G      D                         A
Do i bother to define myself beyond what they allow?
G     E                      G
Have I already forgotten how?
