Intro:  D7 - Amaj7 - D7 - Amaj7 
 
D7          Amaj7 
Black is my favorite color 
D7                    Amaj7 
Makes me feel like we know each other 
D7              Amaj7          E7sus4   Amaj7 
Blank tapes and posters on the door 
D7           Amaj7 
Listen to my Pink Floyd cover 
D7                 Amaj7 
Take a seat like a backbeat lover 
D7              Amaj7           E7sus4  Amaj7 
Mixed tapes and cushions on the floor 
 
 
D7                 Amaj7       E7sus4   Amaj7    
I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo 
 
 
D7             Amaj7 
Paper bags and escalators 
D7               Amaj7 
Pushing up those broken faders 
D7          Amaj7            E7sus4     Amaj7 
Only way to find out who you are 
D7           Amaj7 
In a town of ones and zeros 
D7             Amaj7 
You are one magnetic hero 
D7                 Amaj7           E7sus4       Amaj7 
Little things will always get you far 
 
 
D7                 Amaj7       E7sus4   Amaj7 
I sold my bed, but not my stereo 
D7                 Amaj7       E7sus4   Amaj7 
I sold my bed, but not my stereo 
D7                 Amaj7       E7sus4   Amaj7 
I sold my bed, but not my stereo 
D7                 Amaj7       E7sus4   Amaj7 
I sold my bed, but not my stereo 
 
D7          Amaj7 
Black is my favorite color 
Amaj7                E7sus4 
Makes me feel like we know each other 
D7           Amaj7 
In a town of ones and zeros 
Amaj7          E7sus4 
You are one magnetic hero
