Intro: G G Lately I?ve been seeing things, G D C G D Belly button piercings in the sky at night, D C When we?re side by side, G D C And I don?t mean to rain on anybody?s cabaret, C G D One of those games you?re gonna lose, D C G But you wanna play it just incase, G C D G And now it?s getting dark and the sky looks sticky, G C D G More like black treacle than tar, G C D Black treacle, D G Em Cm G Somebody told the stars you?re not coming out tonight, Cm And so they found a place to hide. G Bm Em G Does it help you stay up late? G D C Does it help you concentrate? C G D Does it tune you in, when you chew your chin? D C G Am I ruining your fun? G And you talk the talk alreyt, G D C But do you walk the walk or catch the train? C G D C You wanted it, you got it, but you don?t want it now. G C D G And now it?s getting dark and the sky looks sticky, G C D G More like black treacle than tar, G C D Black treacle, D G Em Cm G Somebody told the stars you?re not coming out tonight, Cm And so they found a place to hide. G Bm Em G C D G And now I?m out of place and I?m not getting any wiser, C D G I feel like the sun dance kid behind a synthesiser, Em C D And I tried last night to pack away the laugh, G Cm Like a key under the mat, C D G Bm Em But it never seems to be there when you want it, C G Bm Em Black treacle, C G Bm Em Black treacle, C G Bm Em C Black treacle. End on G
