[Verse 1]
G
Lately I’ve been seeing things,
G                       D       C            G               D
Belly button piercings in the sky at night,
D                   C              
When we’re side by side,
G                                                                    D       C
And I don’t mean to rain on anybody’s cabaret,
C                       G                               D
One of those games you’re gonna lose,
D                    C                     G
But you wanna play it just incase,

G

[Chorus]
                                      C                     D             G
And now it’s getting dark and the sky looks sticky,
G                         C                    D    G
More like black treacle than tar,
G                 C   D
Black treacle,
D    G                         Em                      Cm (let ring)                      G
Somebody told the stars you’re not coming out tonight,
                  Cm (let ring)
And so they found a place to hide.

G Bm Em

[Verse 2]
G
Does it help you stay up late?
G                             D          C
Does it help you concentrate?
C                G                                       D
Does it tune you in, when you chew your chin?
D      C                          G
Am I ruining your fun?
G
And you talk the talk alreyt,
G                                                  D           C
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
C               G                      D                    C
You wanted it, you got it, but you don’t want it now.

G

[Chorus]
                                      C                     D             G
And now it’s getting dark and the sky looks sticky,
G                         C                    D    G
More like black treacle than tar,
G                 C   D
Black treacle,
D    G                         Em                      Cm (let ring)                      G
Somebody told the stars you’re not coming out tonight,
                  Cm (let ring)
And so they found a place to hide.

[Verse 3]
                                    C                              D                G
And now I’m out of place and I’m not getting any wiser,
                         C                         D               G
I feel like the sun dance kid behind a synthesiser,
         Em                               C                   D
And I tried last night to pack away the laugh,
          G                  Cm
Like a key under the mat,
            C                           D (let ring)                         G Bm Em
But it never seems to be there when you want it,
C                    G Bm Em
Black treacle,
C                    G Bm Em
Black treacle,
C                    G Bm Em C
Black treacle.
