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)
