[Chorus]
Em D
Black, you are my enemy
Bm Em
And I cannot get close to thee
D
Our life is ruled by enmity
Bm Em
And I can't weaken that
Em D
The only way that I can see
Bm Em
Is to hold you close to me
D
To love you for it's meant to be
Bm Em
I weaken your attack
[Verse]
Em D
Everything was lucked and downy
Bm Em
What was good was up from under
Em D
Until black, that awful tender
Bm Em
Came and popped my sense of wonder
Em D
All at once all eyes turned at him
Bm Em
Leaving me an unwatched body
Em D
And it sagged, my body's rib cage
Bm Em
Out from under ogler's study
Em D
Black was decomposing quickly
Bm Em
This was found offensive to me
Em D
His disrespect for life's proprieties
Bm Em
Made me scared he would destroy me
[Chorus]
Em D
Black, you are my enemy
Bm Em
And I cannot get close to thee
D
Our life is ruled by enmity
Bm Em
And I can't weaken that
Em D
The only way that I can see
Bm Em
Is to hold you close to me
D
To love you for it's meant to be
Bm Em
I weaken your attack
