F#m                          E
She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose
          Bm                               F#m
She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club
F#m                        E                                 Bm
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right
                               F#m
Makes her money one dollar at a time
D                    E                   D
Without the makeup, nobody knows her name
                 E
And she wears the pain

     F#m             A
Black tears, rolling down
        E                     Bm
     F#m                 A
She reveals, and they all cheer
        E    Bm      F#m
Then she cries, black tears

E  Bm  E F#m

F#m                      E
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced
Bm                                 F#m
The boss man is still a friend she needs
F#m                     E
She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine
Bm                              F#m
Anything to hide the pain for a little while
D                              E             D
The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes
                             E
You can tell she knows it when she cries

     F#m             A
Black tears, rolling down
        E                     Bm
     F#m            A
White lights on the mirror
          E    D
Just won't hide, black tears
D                     E                D
She tries and tries so hard to get away
               E
But everybody's watching

     F#m             A
Black tears, rolling down
        E                     Bm
          F#m              E A
If all the pain would just disappear
          E                      D
She'd quit cryin', yeah she'd quit cryin'
    F#m     E  Bm  E F#m
Black tears
