[verse 1]
E
ALong before you ever saw your chances
EYou were going to burn this city down
ATired of the fashions and the dances
ETired of the people standing around
C#mTicking like a bomb in the night
AAnd you knew you were right
BBlack and white
[verse 2]
ABlame it on the time it took to leave here
EBlame it on the ones who slowed you down
ABlame it on the kind of friends you knew here
EBlame it on the sickness going 'round
C#mGoing round and round in the night
AWith your heart out of sight
EWith your world burning bright
BLike a moth 'round a light
[chorus]
C#mBlack and white
EThe pictures of a life in flames
C#mBlack and white
EThe picture of a life remains
AAnd the search you half remember
C#mSetting out on at the start
AIs burning like an ember in your heart
E
ATime running out time running out
EFor the fool still asking what his life is about
ATime running out time running out
Time running out time running out
EYeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt
ATime running out time running out
[verse 3]
E
ATell them that you've gone to find a person
ESomeone you lost track of long ago
ATell them that it's someone you need worse than
EAnybody else you'll ever know
C#mTicking like a bomb in the night
AYou were strong, you were light
EYou were fast, you were bright
BThen you were gone in the light
[chorus]
C#mBlack and white
EThe pictures of a life in flames
BBlacC#mk and white
EThe picture of a life remains
AAnd the high ideals and the promise
YC#mou once dressed the future in
AAre dancing in the embers with the wind
E
ATime running out time running out
EFor the fool still asking what his life is about
ATime running out time running out
EYeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt, time
