Like the night that we met, all black,

               D

               C

like the seats in my Cadillac,

   D

I used to see red, now it's just all black.

 

         Em                                          D

1. As long as I could remember I dreamed in black and white,

        A                                                        B7

    as I grew up and the sun went down I never felt more alright.

            Em                                          D

    My mother, she used to tell me, "Son, you better get to church.

               A

    It's a dark, dark world and there's evil out there,

                      B7

    and you know it's only getting worse."

 

                  Em                                                D

2. Yeah, I never been much for weddings or anniversaries

             A                                         B7

    but I go to a funeral if I'm invited any day of the week.

                Em                                                         D

    Some people say that I sound strange, some say that I'm not right,

          A                                       B7

    but I find beauty in this world every single night.

3. I sat down at her table at the end of the night,

                    A

    she was having black coffee and a cigarette,

             B7

    she wasn't wearing white.

                        Em

    She said, "People tell me that I'm strange,

              D

    they say that I'm not right."

                              A                                B7

    She said, "The only time I feel alive is in the dead of night."

        B7

    I think I found the one for me !
