All those metaphors you learn in high school
A7 D
Dark and light is wrong and right it never made sense to me

Here's what I can see:
[Chorus]
E
You can't see the stars if there's too much light
E7
Ain't nothing like holding you in the middle of the night

After getting burned by the sun in a hard day's work
E A
Baby I'm fine with the dark

Black as the velvet Elvis of my repair
C# F#m D B
Black as the color of my true love's hair
