When [Bm] Black Friday [E] comes, stand down by the door.
Catch the gray men when they [Em] die from the 14th floor.
When Black [C#m] Friday comes, [Bm] make [G] [E] everything [Em] a move.
Before [E] my friends find [Em] out I'll be on the run.
[A] When [Em] Black Friday [F#] comes, you [G] don't [D#m] have to [A] be [C#] [E] human.
You can be a man of your word.
[Em]
When Black Friday comes, you [E] must [A] swell, [Em] Brooke.
Stripe all the big red words from my lips like a blue-gray rose.
Look up to what I've seen, [Bm] swear [Em] on sunshine,
[E] nothing can keep me off the wing of truth.
