She walks a way,

(Absus)col ors fade to gray

and (Bbm7)ev ’ry pre cious mo ment’s now a waste.

She hits the gas,

(Absus)hop ing it would pass.

But the red light starts to flash, it’s time to wait.

’Cause the black keys

(Bbm7)nev er looked so (Ab)beau ti ful and a per fect rain bow (Db)nev er seemed so dull.

And the lights out

(Bbm7)nev er had this (Ab)bright a glow.

And the black keys

are (Bbm7)show ing me a world I nev er knew, no,

a world I nev er knew.

She hates the sun ’cause it (Absus)proves she’s not a lone, and the world does n’t re volve a round her soul,

no.

She loves the sky ’cause it (Absus)val i dates her pride,

(Bbm7)nev er lets them know when she is wrong.

’Cause the black keys

(Bbm7)nev er looked so (Ab)beau ti ful and a per fect rain bow (Db)nev er seemed so dull.

And the lights out

(Bbm7)nev er had this (Ab)bright a glow.

And the black keys

are (Bbm7)show ing me a world I nev er knew, no.

And the walls are clos ing in,

don’t (Gb)let them get

in (Bbm7)side of your head,

don’t (Gb)let them get

in (Bbm7)side of your head.

Don’t (Gb)let them get

in (Bbm7)side of (Ab)your (Ebm7)head,

don’t (Gb)let them

in (Ab)side.

’Cause the black keys

(Bbm7)nev er looked so (Ab)beau ti ful and a per fect rain bow (Db)nev er seemed so dull.

Oh,

and the lights out

(Bbm7)nev er had this (Ab)bright a glow.

And the black keys

are (Bbm7)show ing me a world I nev er knew.

Don’t (Db)let them get, don’t (Bbm7)let them get in (Ab)side of your head.

No, don’t (Db)let them get

in (Ab)side of your head.

Don’t (Db)let them get, don’t (Bbm7)let them get in (Ab)side of your head.

Don’t (Db)let them get, no,

in (Ab)side of your head.

Some times a fight

is (Absus)bet ter black and (Ab)white.
