Lately I've been seeing things
             D   C
Belly button piercings
        G            D
In the sky, at night
            C           G
When we're side by side

    G
And I don't mean to rain
              D    C
On anybody's cabriolet
             G                      D
One of those games you're gonna lose
        D       C             G
But you wanna play it just in case

                  C            D        G
Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
                    C         D  G
More like black treacle than tar
          C        D    G        A
Black treacle, somebody told the stars
           Cm                G
You're not coming out tonight
            Cm                   G D Em C G
And so they found a place to hide

G
Does it help you stay up late?
                   D    C
Does it help you concentrate?
                 G                       D
Does it tune you in when you chew your chin?
         C             G
Am I ruining your fun?

G
And you talk the talk alright
                             D           C
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
            G             D
You wanted it, you got it
              C            G
But you don't want it now

                  C            D         G
Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
                    C         D  G
More like black treacle than tar
          C        D    G        A
Black treacle, somebody told the stars
           Cm                G
You're not coming out tonight
            Cm                   G D Em C G
And so they found a place to hide

                    C                 D           G
And now I'm out of place and I'm not getting any wiser
                 C             D            G
I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer
      Em                  C            D
And I tried last night to pack away a laugh
       G             Cm
Like a key under the mat
         C               D
But it's never seems to be there
                 G  D Em
When you want it

C         G   D Em
Black treacle
C         G   D Em
Black treacle
C         G   D Em C G
Black treacle
