[Verse]
F#
Time stops when the whispers blare
N.C.
The voices drop hard, but the eyes still stare
G#m
The world resolves into a death's head grin
B F#
Because I walk with pride with a black girlfriend
[Interlude]

[Verse]
F# C# B C# F#
My mom said not to bring her around
C# B C# F#
'Cause she's black my family would put her down
C# B C# G#m
I'll break the white-trash ties that bind
B F# C# B C#
Trade a love so pure for a hate so blind

F# C# B C# F#
Time stops when we lie so close
C# B C# F#
In my room where we share what no one knows
C# B
From the day that we start
C# G#m
Until the day that we end
B G#m
I know I know I know now
B C# F# C# B
We will never find a place where we can just fit in
C# F# C#
Me and my black girlfriend
B C#
Whoa!
