Am*         | Am         ||

[Verse 1]
Am                      Dm
  She left no time to regret,
               F                     E7
kept the pussy wet with her same old safe bet
    Am                  Dm
and   me kept my head,
                   F                          E7
high my tears went   dry to get on without my   wife.
    Am                          Dm
And   you went back to what you knew,
         F                                    E7
so far removed from all the shit that we went   through.
    Am                   Dm
And   I tread a troubled   track,
            F                        E7
my odds are stacked and I'll go back   to black.

[Chorus]
Am                           Dm
  We only said good-bye with words I died a hundred times,
F                            E7
  now you go back to him and I go back to [Verse 2] us.

[Verse 2]
Am           Dm
  I love you much,
          F                              E7
it's not enough that you love blow and I love puff.
    Am               Dm
And   life is like a   pipe
          F                             E7
and I'm a big fat dollar rolling up the walls inside.

[Chorus]
Am                           Dm
  We only said good-bye with words I died a hundred times,
F                            E7
  now you go back to him and I go back to ...

[Chorus]
Am                           Dm
  We only said good-bye with words I died a hundred times,
F                            E7
  now you go back to him and I go back to ...

[After-Chorus]
Am       Dm       F        E7
  Black,   black,   black,   black,
Am       Dm       F        E7
  black,   black,   black,   I go back to I go back to,
E7
I go back to I go back to ...

[Chorus]
Am                           Dm
  We only said good-bye with words I died a hundred times,
F                            E7
  now you go back to him and I go back to ...

[End-Chorus]
Am                           Dm
  We only said good-bye with words I died a hundred times,
F                            E7           N.C.      Am (picking) Am*
  now you go back to him and I go back to black.
