B E
Is this what I live for?
B E
To be choked in a toy store
G A E
While staring into hell
B E
There's something that's beautiful
B E
Being awake for my funeral
G A E
You can close the casket now
[Pre-Chorus]
G A E
The plans for my father's hopeless seed
D G A
Born into moral poverty
G A E
Still, I wasn't the angel heaven sent
D G A
To break through my cliché boundaries
[Chorus]
G A E
'Cause Friday is black for me
G A E
The dreamer has dreamed her dream
G A
When Friday is black
G A
There's no turning back
G A E
'Cause Friday is black for me
[Verse 2]
B E
Is there some lesson to learn
B E
Should I never have wanted?
B E
I never even got started
G A E
Or were the decks always just this stacked
[Verse 3]
B E
I mean, it's really a godsend
B E
Clear my plans for the weekend
G A E
But there's nothing to subtract
G A E
I don't want your half-baked sympathy
D G A
When did it save those in need?
G A E
Still, I thought that angels did exist
D G A
But now I hope they plan to end it quick
[Chorus]
G A E
'Cause Friday is black for me
G A E
Only my ashes will see the sea
G A
When Friday is black
G A
There's no turning back
G A E
'Cause Friday is black for me
[Bridge]
E G
At first I didn't know what she was to me
E G
At first I didn't know why I cared
A
Or why I wanted
G A E
To hold her and rock her to sleep
G A E
Did I need her more than she needed me?
G A
Maybe I'm wrong
D Em
She can go on her own
G A
But I'm leaving
[Chorus]
G A E
'Cause Friday is black for me
G A E
Only my ashes will see the sea
G A
When Friday is black
G A
There's no turning back
G A
'Cause Friday is black-
[GENERAL MCNAMARA (spoken)]
E
You're not dead yet
