Em
Take a look at my life, all black
G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C
Like Johnny Cash, all black
D
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
Em
Like the night that we met, all black
G
Like the color of your dress, all black
C
Like the seats in my Cadillac
D
I used to see red now it's just all black
Em
As long as I could remember
G
I dreamed in black and white
C
As I grew up and the sun went down
D
I never felt more alright
Em
My mother she used to tell me,
G
"Son you better get to church"
C
It's a dark dark world and there's evil out there
D
And you know it's only getting worse"
Em
Yeah, I never been much for weddings
G
or anniversaries
C
But I go to a funeral if I'm invited
D
any day of the week
Em
Some people say that I sound strange,
G
some say that I'm not right
C
But I find beauty in this world
D
every single night
Em
Take a look at my life, all black
G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C
Like Johnny Cash, all black
D
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
Em
Like the night that we met, all black
G
Like the color of your dress, all black
C
Like the seats in my Cadillac
D
I used to see red now it's just all black
Em
I sat down at her table
G
at the end of the night
C
She was having black coffee and a cigarette
D
She wasn't wearing white
Em
She said, "People tell me that I'm strange
G
they say that I'm not right"
C
She said, "The only time I feel alive is
D
in the dead of night"
Em
I think I found the one for me
Em
Take a look at my life, all black
G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C
Like Johnny Cash, all black
D
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
Em
Like the night that we met, all black
G
Like the color of your dress, all black
C
Like the seats in my Cadillac
D
I used to see red now it's just all black
G
I remember feeling so alive
C
The night I looked into her eyes
Em
Take a look at my life, all black
G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C
Like Johnny Cash, all black
D
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
Em
Like the night that we met, all black
G
Like the color of your dress, all black
C
Like the seats in my Cadillac
D
I used to see red now it's just all black
