Black on black (Ebm)
Gb    Ab   Ebm            Gb
(VERSE) (Ab) (Ebm) Daddy's little soldier boy
(Gb) Mama's little pride and joy (Ab)
(Ebm) Both hands on her apron strings
"Don't (Gb) you touch that dirty thing" (Ab)
A (Ebm) warning signal from above
In (Gb) spection with a clean white glove (Ab) 
They say (Ebm) that opposites attract like (Gb) right and wrong  (Ab)
Black on (Ebm) black
(CHORUS) Like pleasure and a little pain (Gb)
The (Ab) sacred and profane (Ebm)
Ice and fire counter (Gb) act like (Ab) black on black
(VERSE) The oldest story known to man
The willing sacrificial lamb
Behind the light a shadow falls
The code of silence shakes the walls
A whisper to a silent scream
The power is so frightening
They say that opposites attract like right and wrong
Black on black
(CHORUS)
(VERSE) Some things seem so sacred
Like a loaded question the power of suggestion
Like the face of danger the kindness of a stranger
Like a Judas Kiss like pleasure and a little pain
Immaculate seduction absolute corruption
Ice and fire counteract no turning back like black on black
Black on black.
Black on black
(CHORUS)
Ebm:  x68876
