Black Blue

G   G/F#     Em     C
Nobody will call
           G      G/F#         Em               C
Not as long as I keep my phone off the line
           G          G/F#     Em             C              G     G/F#    Em   C
Not as long as I keep my voice down inside of my mouth
     G              G/F#       Em      C
But it's getting harder to hide
             G                     G/F#              Em           C
And the brightness of the colors makes it hard to describe
              G            G/F#      Em               C
And the voices that seem to come from all sides
              G        G/F#    Em   C
Makes it hard to decide

Em         C      G         D         C
Black,   Blue,   Her,    You

G            G/F#          Em    C
I know a woman who said
        G         G/F#     Em                C
'Oh if I could only just turn back the clock
        G             G/F#             Em              C
When I was still scared and my hair was still dark
            G              G/F#    Em   C
And my hands were clean
      G              G/F#        Em      C
But now all my choices are spent
            G                 G/F#                 Em               C
And the men that I've known they don't know what I meant
       G        G/F#     Em                C
And cupid's arrow is backwards and bent
              G          G/F#    Em   C
When it's flying for me

Em         C      G       D        Em        C         G      D        C
Black,   Blue,   Her,   You,   White,   Green,   Him,   Me

G   G/F#     Em    C
Nobody will say
      G       G/F#         Em            C
Oh what a fine young upstanding man
             G           G/F#          Em        C
With his ducks in a row and his 50 year plan
      G                 G/F#     Em    C
Complete with an ending
      G             G/F#       Em    C
But it's getting harder to see
            G                 G/F#             Em          C
And the time between daylight seems longer to me
            G        G/F#           Em          C
And the person I am and the person I'll be
   G         G/F#   Em   C
Refuse to meet

Em         C      G       D        Em       C         G        D        C
Black,   Blue,   Her,   You,   White,   Green,   Him,   Me
