Intro: G
G
Lately I’ve been seeing things,
G D C G D
Belly button piercings in the sky at night,
D C
When we’re side by side,
G D C
And I don’t mean to rain on anybody’s cabaret,
C G D
One of those games you’re gonna lose,
D C G
But you wanna play it just incase,
G
C D G
And now it’s getting dark and the sky looks sticky,
G C D G
More like black treacle than tar,
G C D
Black treacle,
D G Em Cm G
Somebody told the stars you’re not coming out tonight,
Cm
And so they found a place to hide.
G Bm Em
G
Does it help you stay up late?
G D C
Does it help you concentrate?
C G D
Does it tune you in, when you chew your chin?
D C G
Am I ruining your fun?
G
And you talk the talk alreyt,
G D C
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
C G D C
You wanted it, you got it, but you don’t want it now.
G
C D G
And now it’s getting dark and the sky looks sticky,
G C D G
More like black treacle than tar,
G C D
Black treacle,
D G Em Cm G
Somebody told the stars you’re not coming out tonight,
Cm
And so they found a place to hide.
G Bm Em
G
C D G
And now I’m out of place and I’m not getting any wiser,
C D G
I feel like the sun dance kid behind a synthesiser,
Em C D
And I tried last night to pack away the laugh,
G Cm
Like a key under the mat,
C D G Bm Em
But it never seems to be there when you want it,
C G Bm Em
Black treacle,
C G Bm Em
Black treacle,
C G Bm Em C
Black treacle.
