A#m         C#
She walks away
G#
Colors fade to gray
A#m             C#             G#
Every precious moment's now a waste
A#m          C#   G#
She hits the gas hoping it would pass
    A#m                  C#
The red light starts to flash
             G#
It's time to wait

Chorus:
            F#      C# A#m             G#
'Cause the black keys never looked so beautiful
      F#              C#              A#m G#
And a perfect rainbow never seemed so dull
        F#       C# A#m            G#
And the lights out never had this bright a glow
         F#      C#
And the black keys
A#m           G#            F#  C#
Showing me a world I never knew
 A#m G#          F# C# A#m G#
A world I never knew

She hates the sun 'cause it proves she's not alone
And the world doesn't revolve around her soul, no
She loves the sky 'cause it validates her pride
Never lets her know when she is wrong

Chorus:
And black keys never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow never seemed so dull
And the lights out never had this bright a glow
And the black keys
Showing me a world I never knew, no
Yeah, and the walls are closing in
Don't let 'em get inside of your head
Don't let 'em get inside of your head
Don't let 'em get inside of your head
Don't let them inside

A#m      G#               C#/F
And the walls are closing in
       F#         G#  A#m     G#   C#/F
Don't let them get inside of your head
       F#         G#  A#m     G#   C#/F
Don't let them get inside of your head
       F#         G#  A#m     G#   D#m
Don't let them get inside of your head
       F#        G#
Don't let them inside

Don't let 'em get (Don't let 'em get)
Inside of your head (No)
Don't let 'em get inside of your head
Don't let 'em get (Don't let 'em get)
Inside of your head
Don't let 'em get (No)
Inside of your head
Sometimes, you'll find it's better black and white
