Note: Some parts of the song, particularly the chorus, sound better if you play the
chords as bar chords higher up the neck.
VERSE 1
[F]I had a dream [C]you had a weapon
[Am/F]I couldn't see it in th[Bb]e dark of the night
[Bbm]It's easy t[F]o hide
[F/E]under a very black [F]sky
[F]Over the moon just beyond [C]Saturn
[Am/F]I watched in vain as the [Bb]missiles took flight
[Bbm]We lost our [F]lives
[F/E]Under a very black [F]sky
CHORUS
[Gm] [Am] [Bb] [Dm]
[C#m]Under a [E7]black sky

[Bb] [Am] [G] [Bb]
[A7]Under a [E7]black sky
VERSE 2
[F]Colors explode [C]under your microscope
[Am/F]But just through my eyes it'[Bb]s all black and white
[Bbm]I lost my [F]mind
[F/E]Under a very black [F]sky
[F]We live our lives [C]mostly pretending
[Am/F]You have a secret, you'l[Bb]l never know mine
[Bbm] I'll wear a dis[F]guise
[F/E]Under a very black [F]sky
BRIDGE
[Gm]It's easy t[Dm]o love you
Easy as [Gm]hell when you'r[C]e anyone, anyon[Gm]e else
It's so hard t[Dm]o fake it
I know you can [Gm]tell if you'r[C]e anyone, anyon[Gm]e e [Dm]- e [Gm]- else
If you'r[C]e anyone, anyon[Gm]e e [Dm]- e [Gm]- else
If you'r[C]e anyone, anyone
CHORUS
[F]At first you believe and [C]then you start lying
[Am/F]Swallowing pain like it'[Bb]s shredded up glass
[Bbm] I'm bleeding [F]inside
[F/E]Under a very black [F]sky
[F]Disappointment is cruel but [C]hope can be crueler
[Am/F]I felt them both 'til I [Bb]thought I could die
[Bbm]Now my tears are [F]dry
[Gm]Under a very black [C]sky
