[Intro]
Am G/B C F
Am G/B C F Asus2 F
Asus2 F [Verse]
Asus2 F I looked in the mirror then
F
saw my face in a dream Em With eyes sharp as diamonds,
C
blessed with clear vision G Things were not as they seemed F Black and white television
Em Dsus4 D
stared back from the wall Asus2 F Is that my life? Am I here at all? [Verse]
Asus2 Down in the high road,
F
see motor cavalcades glide Em Past shopwindow dressers
C
desperately covering G All the parts they can hide F Black and white television
Em Dsus4 D
stares at me again Asus2 Is that their lives?
F Am G/B C
Even dummies pretend [Chorus]
F The truth is so hard to deny Dm The answer is here,
C Cm
the screen never lies Dm C Black and white television Bb G Black and white television Dm C Black and white television Bb G It's the right television Dm F G Am Asus2 F Show me it's all a dream tonight [Verse]
Asus2 The boys on the corner
F
sulk in their Suzuki haze Em In primary colours,
C
each year more startling G But they still fade to grey F On black and white television,
Em Dsus4 D
it's sweeping the land Asus2 F Dm C/E F Is that your life? Do you understand? [Chorus]
Bb The truth is so hard to deny Gm The answer is here,
F
the screen never lies Dm C Black and white television Bb G Back the right television Dm C Black and white television Bb G Hard to fight television Dm F G Am Show me it's all a dream tonight Dm Am Black and white television
