INTRO: 
F#m  A  E (X2) 
 
VERSE: 
F#m         A 
She walks away 
   E 
The colors fade to gray 
     D                     E 
Every precious moment now a waste 
 
F#m          A 
She hits the gas 
              E 
Hoping it would pass 
        D  
But the red light starts to flash 
            E 
It's time to wait 
 
CHORUS: 
        D        A    
And the black keys  
E 
Never looked so beautiful 
      D               
And a perfect rainbow  
A              E 
never seemed so dull 
        D         A 
And the lights out 
E            
Never had this brighter glow 
        D        A 
And the black keys  
E                          
showing me a world 
        D      A E (X2) 
I never knew, no 
 
VERSE:  
F#m           A 
She loves the sun 
         E  
Cause it proves she's not alone 
        D                                E 
And the world doesn't revolve around your soul 
F#m          A             E 
She loves the sky cause it validates her pride 
D                              E 
Never lets her know when she is wrong 
 
CHORUS: 
        D        A    
And the black keys  
E 
Never looked so beautiful 
      D               
And a perfect rainbow  
A              E 
never seemed so dull 
        D         A 
And the lights out 
E            
Never had this brighter glow 
        D        A 
And the black keys  
E                          
showing me a world 
       D      A E  
I never knew 
 
BRIDGE:  
 E                 D 
The walls are closing in 
             E 
Don't let em get 
   F#m    E   D 
Inside of your head 
 D           E 
Don't let em get 
   F#m     E   D 
Inside of your head 
  D            E 
Don't let em get 
   F#m    E   D 
Inside of your head 
     D        E 
Don't let them inside 
 
CHORUS: 
        D        A    
And the black keys  
E 
Never looked so beautiful 
      D               
And a perfect rainbow  
A              E 
never seemed so dull 
        D         A 
And the lights out 
E            
Never had this brighter glow 
        D        A 
And the black keys  
E                          
showing me a world 
        D      A E (X2) 
I never knew 
 
Outro:  
D       A     E 
  Don't let 'em get  
   F#m    E   D 
Inside of your head  
D       A     E 
Don't let 'em get, yeah  
  F#m    E   D 
Inside of your head 
D       A      E 
  Don't let 'em get 
  E 
Don't let 'em get  
   F#m    E   D 
Inside of your head 
D         A    E 
  Don't let 'em get, oh.  
  E            D 
Inside of your head 
D           A     E 
Sometimes a fight is better black and white
