Intro: G G/F# Em C (x2) 
  
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
