Black Room Boy

Ebm

         Ebm
It's the same old scene
                                       Bbm
You've been stuck at the screen for a lifetime.
              Gb
You keep your mind sharp and clean
                               Ab
With a fix of caffeine for the night time.

          Ebm
You got a page full of friends
                             Bbm
In a world without end, D.I.K.U.?
       Gb
But if push comes to shove
                                 Ab
You can do without them if they make you.

     Ebm
With all this poison inside
     Bbm
It's much too late to decide.
                Gb
You've got your mind made up,
                                 Ab
You've been living a lie in your white room.

    Ebm
For all the hours that you've cried
          Bbm
There's a year of love they denied.
        Gb                                                 Ab
So you slip through the door and fall to the floor in your black room.
                        Ebm
You're a black room boy.

                     Bbm                                Gb
You're feeling so weighed down (You're a black room boy)
                        Ab                               Ebm
Forget the losses and burn down (You're a black room boy)
                 Bbm
Fall into city lights (You're a black room boy)
Gb              Ab   Ebm
Nothing else is easy.

                Ebm
You kissed your mommy's hand
                                    Bbm
Wearing daddy's ring when they left you,
        Gb                                                Ab
And you buried yourself in the pain that they couldn't accept you.

            Ebm
You're in a world of your own
                                   Bbm
Got no cellular phone - they can't track you.
        Gb
But the girl at the store, with the sketchy rapport,
         Ab
She will back you.
