Tuned down full step (D-G-C-F-A-D)
Chord names not adjusted to tune change (G is actually an F, etc)
--------------------------
G Em
Broke down at the end of the night
C
Can't seem to get anything right
G
So numb I can't feel things anymore
D
Somehow could feel me letting go
C D
I know there's so many things
G Em
That I need to do and I need to say
C G
No matter how hard I try
D
I can't get the words out right
--------------------------
Chorus:
G
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
Em C
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
D
Like a ship that's lost in the night
C D
With no direction or guiding light
G
Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
Em C
Face down like a needle in the vein
D
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
C D G
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
Em C
I see you standing in the rain
--------------------------
The lights in the city feel so bright
All these colors I've got inside
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner
All I paint is myself in a corner
Going on seems to hurt so much
All the world seems so cold to the touch
When I go to sleep I don't dream
I just see a blank television screen
--------------------------
(Chorus)
--------------------------
Tie a ribbon for the child in me
On every door and on every tree
Make it black for the way that I feel
'Cause black is the only color that's real
