It's a freeze-frame Still it's real life You don't want to look

G Em I was looking at the black and white world Trying to name some pin-up G Em Those days she was just a beautiful girl Now she's framed and hung up B7 Em B/F# Em/G C Em/B Gm/Bb A I thought she was young up until I saw her last night in close detail A/G D/F# D A/G D/F# D A/G D/F# D A/G D/F# D Though they all fade away when you're so pale E/G# Am D/F# G D D/C G/B G D D/C G/B G It's more than just a physical attraction It starts with a face and ends up a fixation E/G# Am D/F# G D D/C G/B G D D/C G/B G But you're never gonna feel a fraction of the way it used to work on your imagination
[Chorus]
D G When you were looking at the black and white world D G When you were looking at the black and white world D G When you were looking
[Outro]
D G When you were looking at the black and white world D G When you were looking at the black and white world D G When you were looking at the black and white world D G When you were looking at the black and white world D G When you were looking at the black and white world
