That Old Black Hole Chords by Dr. Dog

[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[E] I put on my [B] clothes like a [D#] _
bodyguard, I put the dogs [B] on patrol in my home backyard.
_ I don't wanna fight, but I'm constantly ready and I don't [E] rock the boat.
But it's always unsteady, there's an elephant in my head.
[D#] And I tiptoe around it, [G#m] there are eggshells on the floor, [C#m] therefore I never touch the ground.
It's [E] like that old black hole, [F#] no matter how you try, you set out each day, never to arrive.
I [G#m] got my eyes on the prize, [B] but it looks just like a mystery.
[C#m] And it all [E] goes by on the lonesome trail to victory.
[G#m] I'm drawing the blinds, I [B] got my own four walls, [C#m] man, to show [E] where these start.
Once the curtain [C]
falls, [E] take this thorn from my side, fix this chip on my shoulder.
Time is racing [G#] with the clock and I ain't getting [C#m] any older.
[E] It's like that old black hole, [F#] no matter how you try.
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
You set out each day, never to arrive.
_ [C] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] I put on my finest thread and I wrap up my body tight.
With [E] the sun in my eyes, I step into [B] the night [F#] like the mystery in the dark.
[C#m] Oh, it's just another kind of life.
[B] I don't expect it to be, but everything is alright.
_ _ _ _ I don't do tricks for a dime.
I was [E] born on a good day, deaf, [B] dumb and blind.
[F#] Who am I?
The truth.
[G#] Oh, I don't even know what it is.
[B] Well, I don't want to say it, but I know that I can show you.
_ I said I don't want to say it, but I know that I can show you.
I tie my boots up tight and I head straight for bed.
[E] There's a pistol and a crystal underneath my pillow.
[B] There's a tender heart inside that ugly armadillo.
[E] These are tears of joy, pride [F#] that we can't walk.
[E] There's a spirit in the air.
[F#] There ain't no way around it.
[B] I was not prepared to lose it [E] all the moment that I found it.
It's like that old black hole.
[F#] No matter how you try, it's [E] like that old black hole.
[F#] No matter how you try, it's [E] like that old black hole.
[F#] No matter how you try, you set out each day, never to arrive. _ _ _
