Intro: Am  
Verse 1: 
AmThere was a time when I had the right key 
Rolled the tumble, slipped the bone on every wandering eye I  Dmcaught 
AmSomething has changed, this is all wrong 
I'm out here in the cold with a wet face rattling your Dmlocks 
EThere ain't nothing new about the world 
That I didn't learn from just standing here in this spot Am  
Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
There ain't nothing new about the world 
That I didn't learn from just watching you go by 
I tell myself people are cold, and strangers pass 
Separate themselves from love by building walls a hundred thousand miles high 
Frostbite and hot sickness 
Ain't either one of them so bad if you can understand the reason why
Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
Black hole black hole 
Are your eyes as empty as they look? 
Black hole, black hole 
Are your two eyes as empty as they look? 
All along I thought I was giving you my love, but you were just taking, 
And now I want back every single thing that you took 
Chorus:
Am(Black hole, black hole, black hole, black hole)Dm  
Am(Black hole, black hole, black hole, black hole)Dm  
E(Black hole, black hole, black hole, black hole)Am  
Verse 4: [use verse 1 chords]
I had a dream where I was dying 
But it wasn't a nightmare, I was peaceful as I fell 
And if I was falling into heaven, 
Heaven must be hotter than the bible tells (black hole, black hole)
I woke up sorry I was living 
Rather than rattling your locks, 
I'd rather second another night in hell, in hell, in hell, in hell
Chorus:
Am(Black hole, black hole, black hole, black hole)Dm  
Am(Black hole, black hole, black hole, black hole)Dm  
E(Black hole, black hole, black hole, black hole)Am

Verse 1:

There was a time when I had the right key

Rolled the tumble, slipped the bone on every wandering eye I caught

Something has changed, this is all wrong

I'm out here in the cold with a wet face rattling your locks

There ain't nothing new about the world

That I didn't learn from just standing here in this spot

Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]

There ain't nothing new about the world

That I didn't learn from just watching you go by

I tell myself people are cold, and strangers pass

Separate themselves from love by building walls a hundred thousand miles high

Frostbite and hot sickness

Ain't either one of them so bad if you can understand the reason why

Black hole black hole

Are your eyes as empty as they look?

Black hole, black hole

Are your two eyes as empty as they look?

All along I thought I was giving you my love, but you were just taking,

And now I want back every single thing that you took

Chorus:

Am Dm
