Please do excuse the awkward chord placement, especially in the penultimate chorus.
Ebm
It's the Ebmsame old scene
You've been stuck at the screen for a lBbmifetime.
You keep your Gbmind sharp and clean
With a fix of caffeine for the Abnight time.
You got a Ebmpage full of friends
In a world without end, D.I.KBbm.U.?
But if Gbpush comes to shove
You can do without them if they mAbake you.
With Ebmall this poison inside
It's Bbmmuch too late to decide.
You've got your Gbmind made up,
You've been living a lie in your Abwhite room.
For Ebmall the hours that you've cried
There's a Bbmyear of love they denied.
So you sGblip through the door and fall to the floor in your Abblack room.
You're a black room boy.Ebm  
You're feeling so weiBbmghed down (You're a black room boy)Gb  
Forget the losses and buAbrn down (You're a black room boy)Ebm  
Fall into city liBbmghts (You're a black room boy)
GbNothing else is Abeasy.Ebm  
You kissed your Ebmmommy's hand
Wearing daddy's ring when they left Bbmyou,  
And you Gbburied yourself in the pain that they couldn't accAbept you.
You're in a Ebmworld of your own
Got no cellular phone - they can't Bbmtrack you.
But the Gbgirl at the store, with the sketchy rapport,
She will Abback you.
With Ebmall this poison inside
It's Bbmmuch too late to decide.
You've got your Gbmind made up,
You've been living a lie in your Abwhite room.
For Ebmall the hours that you've cried
There's a Bbmyear of love they denied.
So you sGblip through the door and fall to the floor in your Abblack room.
You're a black room boy.Ebm  
You're feeling so weiBbmghed down (You're a black room boy)Gb  
Forget the losses and buAbrn down (You're a black room boy)Ebm  
Fall into city liBbmghts (You're a black room boy)
GbNothing else is Abeasy.Ebm  
 Ebm   Bbm   Gb   Ab(x4)
Ebm...You're feeling so weiBbmghed down...
Gb...Forget the losses and burAbn down...
Ebm...Fall into city ligBbmhts...
GbNothing else is Abeasy.
You're a black room boy.Ebm  
You're feeling so weBbmighed down (You're a black room boy)Gb

You've been stuck at the screen for a lifetime.

You keep your mind sharp and clean

With a fix of caffeine for the night time.

Ebm

You got a page full of friends

Bbm

In a world without end, D.I.K.U.?

But if push comes to shove

You can do without them if they make you.

Ebm

With all this poison inside

Bbm

It's much too late to decide.

You've got your mind made up,

You've been living a lie in your white room.

Got no cellular phone - they can't track you.

She will back you.
