The Black Market Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]A currency [G]of hea[Am]rtache and sorrow
[D]The air we bre[Am]athe is stale
[D]with mold
To shadows [Am]we are slaves
digging deeper every [D]day
But emptiness is growing so [Asus4]old
[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am]
[D][Am][D][Am]
[D]
Head[Am]lamps light the tunnels we

[Verse 2]
[D]
wander
They shim[Am]mer and they
dance on [D]the walls
We're lost [Am]inside these caves as
[C]the chances of [D]escape
Grow slim[C]mer 'til [D]there's
no chance at [Am]all

[Verse 3]
This ink, it [F]travels from the page
Up my [Dm]hand and [D]to my veins
[Am]Choking on those stories I've told[G]
If there [F]are words here left to say
[Dm]I just want to let[G] you kno[F]w

[Verse 4]
[G]I'm falling on my knees right [Am]now
I'm [C]covered in the mess [F]I made
These [G]colors used to wash [Am]right out
But [C]now they are a part of [F]me
And I've been [G]searching
for [Am]a remedy
When all [C]along it's been in front of [F]me
I need you [G]here, I need you [Am]now[G]
Right now
[Am][Asus4][Am]

[Verse 5]
[D]
[Am]We traffic in the blackest
of mar[D]ket[F#5]s[D]
Trade [Am]misery like diamonds
and [F#5]gold[D]
The ang[Am]st that we exchange
for [C]applause or petty [D]praise
Is [C]finally now [D]taking its [Am]toll

[Verse 6]
But there's [F]a world above the ground
[Dm]A life that [D]we can lead
[Am]We're washing off the dirt from our [G]clothes
I [F]don't want to live without
[Dm]I just wanna let[G] you kno[F]w

[Verse 7]
I'm [G]falling on my knees right [Am]now
I'm [C]covered in the mess [F]I made
These [G]colors used to wash [Am]right out
But [C]now they are a part of [F]me
And I've been [G]searching
for [Am]a remedy
When all along it's [C]been
in front [F]of me
I need you [G]here, I need you [Em]now[Am][G]
Right [Am]now[C]

[Interlude 2]
Right now
[G][F][C][Am]

[Verse 8]
(Black stains) they mark me like a [C]let
ter
(Won't fade) cracking under the pres
[G]sure[Gsus4][G]
(Black stains) nothing
stays gold
[F]

[Verse 9]
[G]
There's a [F]world above the ground
A life that we can lead
But we're [Am]lost deep down in these [G]holes
And I've seen [F]the way out
Now [Dm]I just want to[G] let you kno[F]w

[Verse 10]
[G]I'm falling on my knees right [Am]now
(black stains)
[C]I'm covered in the mess I
[F]made (won't fade)
These [G]colors used to wash right
[Am]out (black stains)
But now they [C]are a [Dm]part of [F]me
And I've been [G]searching
for a [Am]remedy
When all [C]along it's been
in front of [F]me
Your voice it [G]washes the stains [Am]away
[C](Wa[F]sh the[G][Am]
[C]stains awa[F]y)[G]
[F](Wash the stains away)
[G][C][G][F]
