Chords

[LEX] [Verse 1]
                Bm7
Is this what I live for?

                   A
To be choked in a toy store

        G     F#     Bm7
While staring into hell

                       Bm7
There's something that's beautiful

                  A
Being awake for my funeral

          G       F#      Bm7
You can close the casket now
[Pre-Chorus]
                  Bm7
The plans for my father's hopeless seed

A          G         Bm7
Born into moral poverty

                    Bm7
Still, I wasn't the angel heaven sent

     A                G            Bm7
To break through my cliché boundaries
[Chorus]
         Bm7       A       G
'Cause Friday is black for me

       Bm7         A          G
The dreamer has dreamed her dream

       Bm7       A
When Friday is black

        G           A
There's no turning back

         Bm7       A       G
'Cause Friday is black for me
[Verse 2]
                          Bm7
Is there some lesson to learn

                        A
Should I never have wanted?

                   G
I never even got started

              F#                     Bm7
Or were the decks always just this stacked
[Verse 3]
                        Bm7
I mean, it's really a godsend

                         A
Clear my plans for the weekend

             G      F#      Bm7
But there's nothing to subtract

   Bm7              A               G
I don't want your half-baked sympathy

Bm7           A             G
When did it save those in need?

Bm7                    A            G
Still, I thought that angels did exist

     Bm7              A              G
But now I hope they plan to end it quick
[Chorus]
         Bm7       A        G
'Cause Friday is black for me

          Bm7       A       G
Only my ashes will see the sea

        Bm7      A
When Friday is black

         G           A
There's no turning back

         Bm7       A       G
'Cause Friday is black for me
[Bridge]
     Bm7                         A
At first I didn't know what she was to me

     Bm7                       A
At first I didn't know why I cared

          Bm7
Or why I wanted

     A           G           Bm7
To hold her and rock her to sleep

    A           G                  Bm7
Did I need her more than she needed me?

  Bm7       A
Maybe I'm wrong

         G        Bm7
She can go on her own

          A
But I'm leaving
[Chorus]
         Bm7       A        G
'Cause Friday is black for me

          Bm7       A       G
Only my ashes will see the sea

       Bm7       A
When Friday is black

        G           A
There's no turning back

         Bm7       A       G
'Cause Friday is black-
