### Version on the album is performed at appx. 126bpm
### Paranthetic reference (C Dm) in chorus are done as eighth beat chords
### Listen to the recording to get the feel for it, or leave em off :)
### This is my 1st submission to OLGA, and is all my own. Hope you like it

### Starts with G, repeated for 8 beats

                          
The lights are off again
            
She took me by surprise
                           
She's so sensitive
               
This shit just happens sometimes
                           
She's my everything
              
She's my best friend and more
                           
We don't do anything
          
We didn't do the day
  
Before you go
    
You oughta know
                                              
That I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted you to know

###1st chorus

                               
Black tears are falling down her face
                    ( )
And I am wrong
                                                            ( )
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done
                                                  ( )
She's sitting here beside me, then she is gone
                           
Black tears are falling, falling

###2nd verse

                 
Remember long ago
         
Together laughing, loving
               
Oh so long ago
             
When we were buying something
                     
Life was simple then
              
But she's not happy now, and I
                    
Don't feel anything
             
Her lips are moving
     
I am mesmerised
   
By tiny lies
                                                
I'm watching as the shapes are drawing slowly from her eyes

###2nd chorus

                               
Black tears are falling down her face
                    ( )
And I am wrong

                                                            ( )
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done
                                             ( )
She's sitting here beside me, then she is gone
                        
Black tears are falling, falling
                               
Black tears are falling, falling

### Bridge

              
    Losing Lisa
              
    Losing Lisa

    Losing Lisa

                                
And there's nothing I can do

###10-bar piano solo - chords same as 1st chorus, repeated twice

                                   
Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
                                   
Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
                                   
Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
                                   
Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
