[Verse 1]
C      D          A
Golden eyes, they look to me
C           D       E7
Stare those eyes at me


[Chorus]
    A                 G/A
You must be one of those girls
    F           G    A      F G A

    F           G    A      F G A
Who live on the blackstairs


[Verse 2]
        C     D      A
There's no disguise upon your face
       C        D        E7
You're not like anyone I know
     F       C               D7        C      D
They give so freely and they come when I come out
    F          Am       Em    Am7          D      Em
But you're the one, the one I want to understand



[Chorus]

You must be one of those girls
    F           G    A      F G A
Who live on the blackstairs

Who live on the blackstairs


[Bridge]
Em         C           Em        G  A
You're not scared, no, you don't answer
    Em         C      Em       A
You just stand there, face the stairs going home
   Em      C         Em      G     A
If I could choose my own way down, down
    Em       C           D
I'd take the road to the blackstairs


[Interlude]
A    G/A    F  G  A  F G A


[Chorus]
    A                 G/A

[Verse 3]
    C       D             A
The sadness raging in the broken man
C       D           E7
Stays until the day ends
     F     C                D7     C     D
When he is free to think of better days again
      F        Am        Em       Am7              D     Em
Looks like the scales of love and time are all the same


[Chorus]
    A                 G/A
You must be one of those girls
    F           G    A      F G A
Who live on the blackstairs
                    G/A
And I long to go up there
    F           G    A      F G A
And live on the blackstairs
                           G/A
Yes, you must be one of those girls
    F           G    A      F G A
Who live on the blackstairs
