[Verse 1] Bm
               D/A
Is this what I lived for?

                  E
To be choked in a toy store

      G       A          Bm
While staring into hell

                        D/A
There's something that's beautiful

                   E
Being awake for my funeral

        G         A           G
You can close the casket now
[Pre-Chorus]
                 A
The plans for my father's hopeless seed

D/A       A          G
Born into moral poverty

                    A
Still, I wasn't the angel heaven sent

   D/A              A             G
To break through my cliché boundaries
[Chorus]
       Bm        A         G
'Cause Friday is black for me

    G           A           Bm
The dreamer has dreamed her dream

When Friday is black

There's no turning back

'Cause Friday is black for me
[Verse 2]
                        Bm
Is there some lesson to learn

                    D/A
Should I never have wanted?

                 E
I never even got started

            G            A                   Bm
Or were the decks always just this stacked

                      D/A
I mean, it's really a godsend

                       E
Clear my plans for the weekend

            G       A           G
But there's nothing to subtract
[Pre-Chorus]
                  A
I don't want your half-baked sympathy

D/A         A             G
When did it save those in need?

                      A
Still, I thought that angels did exist

    D/A             A              G
But now I hope they plan to end it quick
[Chorus]
       Bm        A         G
'Cause Friday is black for me

        G          A       Bm
Only my ashes will see the sea

     G         A
When Friday is black

        Bm         A
There's no turning back

       G         A         B
'Cause Friday is black for me
[Bridge]
   B                            Em
At first I didn't know what she was to me

   B                         Em
At first I didn't know why I cared

         G
Or why I wanted

   D/A          A           B
To hold her and rock her to sleep

      D/A           A               B
Did I need her more than she needed me?

G         A
Maybe I'm wrong

        Bm        D/A
She can go on her own

    G   A
But I'm leaving
[Chorus]
       Bm        A         G
'Cause Friday is black for me

        G          A       Bm
Only my ashes will see the sea

     G         A
When Friday is black

        Bm         A
There's no turning back

       G         A
'Cause Friday is black-
