EmBlack, you are my Bmenemy
And D/F#I cannot get Emclose to thee
Our life is ruled by Bmenmity
And D/F#I can't weaken Emthat
EmThe only way that BmI can see
D/F#Is to hold you Emclose to me
To love you for it's Bmmeant to be
I D/F#weaken your Emattack
Everything was lucked and downy
What was good was up from under
Until black, that awful tender
Came and popped my sense of wonder
All at once all eyes turned at him
Leaving me an unwatched body
And it sagged, my body's rib cage
Out from under ogler's study
Black was decomposing quickly
This was found offensive to me
His disrespect for life's proprieties
Made me scared he would destroy me
EmBlack, you are my Bmenemy
And D/F#I cannot get Emclose to thee
Our life is ruled by Bmenmity
And D/F#I can't weaken Emthat
EmThe only way that BmI can see
D/F#Is to hold you Emclose to me
To love you for it's Bmmeant to be
I D/F#weaken your Emattack
So I thought I'd try to cut him
Try to force him 'neath my level
The only way to equal to him
Would be hit him with a shovel
But to really rise above him
That would be the final evil
So instead I asked the sucker
If he'd care to see my rooms
And as a friend and as a comrade
And all the things that these implied
I made him leave what it was that he had
Used to keep us unallied
EmBlack, you are my Bmenemy
And D/F#I cannot get Emclose to thee
Our life is ruled by Bmenmity
And D/F#I can't weaken Emthat
EmThe only way that BmI can see
D/F#Is to hold you Emclose to me
To love you for it's Bmmeant to be
I D/F#weaken your attEmack
BRIDGE:
EmNow black and I Bmwe are together
EmFairly just Bminseparable
EmAnd in the terribBmlest of weather
Our Dbonds are incorruptible
CHORUS:
EmBlack, you are my Bmenemy
And D/F#I cannot get Emclose to thee
Our life is ruled by Bmenmity
And D/F#I can't weaken Emthat
EmThe only way that BmI can see
D/F#Is to hold you Emclose to me
To love you for it's Bmmeant to be
I D/F#weaken your attEmack
