[{Intro} ]
G Eb
D G
Here you come, you're all dressed in black
C G
Don't you know that I am here for you?
Times, they are tough, sometimes it gets you down
C G
But I'll help with what you want to do
C G
And if you try too hard
C G
You'll only push it too far
C G Eb D G
We know who you are - a superstar
You have been hurt, you're sorry for yourself
Well, there is no argument
So you retreat, hiding your love away
Well, that is no testament
And you could cry yourself a river
I say damn your eyes
C G Eb D G
You're not such a tragic figure - realise
Eb D G
Oh yeah
B G
Ahhh..
B / C \ B G {play B and C as barre chords}
Ahhh..
Here they come, they're all dressed in black
When you've always been your own man
You have a friend, but if you can't look back
Then I'll try to understand
'Cause its surely my concern
That your fire still burns
C G Eb D G
So we each must take our turn to live and learn
Eb D G
Do it now
Eb D G
