------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACK – Sarah McLachlan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist: Sarah McLachlan Song: Black Album: Solace Tuning: Standard Capo: 2nd fret Intro: As the walls are closing in And the colors fade to black And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me And I follow the tracks that lead me down And I never follow what’s right And they wonder sometimes when they see all the Sadness and pain the truth brings to light Chorus: ’cause I can’t see no reason What is blind cannot see ’cause I want what is pleasin’ All I take should be free What I rob from the innocent ones What I’d steal from the womb If I cried me a river of all my confessions Would I drown in my shallow regret ~ Solo ~ As the walls are closing in And the colors fade to black And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea And in darkness all that I can see The frightened and the weak Are forced to cling to mistakes they know Nothing of at mercy are the meek ~ Repeat Chorus ~ If I cried me a river of all my confessions Would I drown in my shallow regret
