[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
