Gmin Bmaj
I put on my clothes like a body guard
C#m7 Emaj
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
Gmin Bmaj
I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready
C#m7 Emaj
And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady
Emaj
There's an elephant in my head
Bmaj
And I tip toe around it
C#m7
There are eggshells on the floor
Emaj
Therefore I never touch the ground
Emaj
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
Gmin
I got my eyes on the prize
Bmaj
But it looks just like a mystery
C#m7 Emaj
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
Gmin Bmaj
I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls
C#m7 Emaj
And the show really starts once the curtain falls
Emaj
Take this thorn from my side
Bmaj
Fix this chip on my shoulder
C#m7
Time is racing with the clock
Emaj
And I ain't getting any older
Emaj
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
Emaj
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
Emaj
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
Bmaj
I put on my finest thread
Bmaj C#m7
And I wrap up my body tight
C#m7
With the sun in my eyes
Bmaj
I step into the night
C#m7 Emaj
Like the mystery in the dark
Oh, it's just another kind of light
Bmaj
I don't expect you to believe me
C#m7 Bmaj
But everything is al--right
Bmaj
I don't make rules for a living
Bmaj C#m7
I don't do tricks for a dime
C#m7
I was born on a good day,
Bmaj
Deaf, dumb and blind.
C#m7 Emaj
Who am I to tell the truth?
Bmaj C#m7 Bmaj
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
Bmaj C#m7 Bmaj
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
Bmaj
I tie my boots up tight
Bmaj
And I head straight for bed
C#m7
There's a pistol and a crystal
C#m7
Underneath my pillow
Bmaj
There's a tender heart
Bmaj
Inside that ugly armadillo
C#m7
"These are tears of joy,"
F#maj
Emaj
There's a spirit in the air
F#maj
And there ain't no way around it
Bmaj
I was not prepared to lose it
C#m7
On the moment that I found it
Emaj
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
Emaj
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
Emaj
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
