Introduction:
G
Lately I've been seeing things
D C
Belly button piercings
G D
In the sky, at night
C G
When we're side by side
G
And I don't mean to rain
D C
On anybody's cabriolet
G D
One of those games you're gonna lose
D C G
But you wanna play it just in case
C D G
Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
C D G
More like black treacle than tar
C D G A
Black treacle, somebody told the stars
Cm G
You're not coming out tonight
Cm G DEm C G
And so they found a place to hide
G
Does it help you stay up late?
D C
Does it help you concentrate?
G D
Does it tune you in when you chew your chin?
G
And you talk the talk alright
D C
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
G D
You wanted it, you got it
C G
But you don't want it now
C D G
Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
C D G
More like black treacle than tar
C D G A
Black treacle, somebody told the stars
Cm G
You're not coming out tonight
Cm G DEm C G
And so they found a place to hide
C D G
And now I'm out of place and I'm not getting any wiser
C D G
I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer
Em C D
And I tried last night to pack away a laugh
G Cm
Like a key under the mat
C D
But it's never seems to be there
G DEm
When you want it
C G DEm
Black treacle
C G DEm
Black treacle
