Tuned down full step (D-G-C-F-A-D)
Chord names not adjusted to tune change (G is actually an F, etc)
--------------------------
GBroke down at the end of the night Em
Can't seem to get Canything right
GSo numb I can't feel things anymore
DSomehow could feel me letting go
CI know there's Dso many things
GThat I need to do and I Emneed to say
CNo matter how hard IG try
I can't get theD words out right
--------------------------
Chorus:
GMan down, tie a ribbon around my soul
EmI'm in the black and I'mC out of control
DLike a ship that's lost in the night
CWith no direction or Dguiding light
GMan down and I'm drowning in the pain
EmFace down like a Cneedle in the vein
DYou're the only thing that keeps me sane
CBut somehow I can't keep you Dout of my rain G
I see you standing in the Emrain C
--------------------------
The lights in the city feel so bright
All these colors I've got inside
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner
All I paint is myself in a corner
Going on seems to hurt so much
All the world seems so cold to the touch
When I go to sleep I don't dream
I just see a blank television screen
--------------------------
(Chorus)
--------------------------
Tie a ribbon for the child in me
On every door and on every tree
Make it black for the way that I feel
'Cause black is the only color that's real
