Jackson Browne – Black And White (Guitar)

A
Long before you ever saw your chances

E
You were going to burn this city down

A
Tired of the fashions and the dances

E
Tired of the people standing around

C#m
Ticking like a bomb in the night

A
And you knew you were right

B
Black and white

A
Blame it on the time it took to leave here

E
Blame it on the ones who slowed you down

A
Blame it on the kind of friends you knew here

E
Blame it on the sickness going 'round

C#m
Going round and round in the night

A
With your heart out of sight

E
With your world burning bright

B
Like a moth 'round a light

C#m
Black and white

E
The pictures of a life in flames

C#m
Black and white

E
The picture of a life remains

A
And the search you half remember

C#m
Setting out on at the start

A
Is burning like an ember in your heart

A
Time running out time running out

E
For the fool still asking what his life is about

A
Time running out time running out

E
Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt

A
Time running out time running out

A
Tell them that you've gone to find a person

E
Someone you lost track of long ago

A
Tell them that it's someone you need worse than

E
Anybody else you'll ever know

C#m
Ticking like a bomb in the night

A
You were strong, you were light

E
You were fast, you were bright

B
Then you were gone in the light

C#m
Black and white

E
The pictures of a life in flames

B   C#m
Black and white

E
The picture of a life remains

A
And the high ideals and the promise

 C#m
You once dressed the future in

A
Are dancing in the embers with the wind

A
Time running out time running out

E
For the fool still asking what his life is about

A
Time running out time running out

E
Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt, time
