Em G D A
(Black gold, black gold)
Em G D A
(Black gold, black gold)
[Verse 1]
Em G
I know you better than you know yourself

You're not a secret or a story to tell

I walk on runways just to know you're safe

Ain't nothing sacred in this hostile place
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G D A
Don't change, don't change, I need you tonight, I need you tonight
Em G D A
Don't change, don't change, we'll take down satellites, take down satellites
Bm D Bm A C
You're not gonna be afraid Now it's a little late
[Chorus]
Bm A Em
Black gold is the colour, the dawn never comes
D A Bm
And we don't answer when you're wrong (Black gold like no other)
A Em D A Bm
Did we ever belong? Just take them on and then we're gone (Black gold is the colour)
A Em D A
The dawn never comes, and we don't answer...
[Verse 2]
Em G
Put your hand up if you're running scared
D A
Choke my engine, it cannot be repaired

Our superheroes, well, where are they now?

Put your foot down till the petrol runs out

Don't change, don't change, I need you tonight, I need you tonight
