intro : Am

verse 1 :
Am
there was a time when i had the right key
Dm
rolled the tumble , slipped the bone on every wandering eye i caught
Am
something has changed , this is all wrong
Dm
i’m out here in the cold with a wet face rattling your locks
E
there ain’t nothing new about the world
Am
that i didn’t learn from just standing here in this spot

verse 2 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
there ain’t nothing new about the world
that i didn’t learn from just watching you go by
i tell myself people are cold , and strangers pass
separate themselves from love by building walls a hundred thousand miles high
frostbite and hot sickness
ain’t either one of them so bad if you can understand the reason why

verse 3 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
black hole black hole
are your eyes as empty as they look?
black hole , black hole
are your two eyes as empty as they look?
all along i thought i was giving you my love , but you were just taking ,
and now i want back every single thing that you took

chorus :
Am Dm
( black hole , black hole , black hole , black hole )
Am Dm
( black hole , black hole , black hole , black hole )
E Am
( black hole , black hole , black hole , black hole )

verse 4 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
i had a dream where i was dying
but it wasn’t a nightmare , i was peaceful as i fell
and if i was falling into heaven ,
heaven must be hotter than the bible tells ( black hole , black hole )
i woke up sorry i was living
rather than rattling your locks ,
i’d rather second another night in hell , in hell , in hell , in hell

chorus :
Am Dm
( black hole , black hole , black hole , black hole )
Am Dm
( black hole , black hole , black hole , black hole )
E Am
( black hole , black hole , black hole , black hole )
