That Old Black Hole Chords

Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

EmI put on my clothes like a body guard G

I put the dogAms on patrol in my own back yard C

I don't Emwanna fight but I'm constantly ready G

And I doAmn't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady C

There's Can elephant in my head

And I tiBmp toe around it

There areAm eggshells on the floor

ThereforeD I never touch the ground

It's likCe that old black hole,

No matteDr how you try,

You set out each day

Never to arrive

I got my eEmyes on the prize

But it lGooks just like a mystery

And it aAmll goes by on the lonesoCme trail to victory

I'm drawEming in the blinds, I got my own fGour walls

And the shAmow really starts once theC curtain falls

 

Take this tChorn from my side

Fix thisBm chip on my shoulder

Time is Amracing with the clock

And I aiDn't getting any older

It's likCe that old black hole,

No matteDr how you try.

It's likCe that old black hole,

No matteDr how you try.

It's likCe that old black hole,

No matteDr how you try,

You set out each day

Never to arrive

(Dabble around with G or somthing)

I put on my finest thread, and I wrap up my body tight

With the sun in my eyes, I step into the night

Like the mystery in the dark, Oh, it's just another kind of light

I don't Gexpect you to believe me

But everCything is alrDight G

I don't make rulGes for a living

I don't do tricks for a dime

I was born on a Cgood day,

Deaf, dumb and bGlind.

Who am ID to tell the truth?

I don't Ameven know what it is.

I don't Gknow how to say it

But I knCow that I canD show you G

I don't Gknow how to say it

But I knCow that I canD show you G

I tie myG boots up tight

And I head straight for bed

There's Ca pistol and a crystal

Underneath my pillow

There's Ga tender heart

Inside that ugly armadillo

"These aCre tears of joy,"

Cried thDe weeping willow

There's Ga spirit in the air

And therCe ain't no way around it

I was noDt prepared to lose it

On the mComent that I found it

It's likCe that old black hole,

No matteDr how you try.

It's likCe that old black hole,

No matteDr how you try.

It's likCe that old black hole,

No matteDr how you try.

You set out each day

Never to arrive
