[Intro]
D G N.C. D G N.C.
D G Em Am D G
G Em
I was looking at the black and white world It seemed so exciting
G Em
If you'd only put me back to back with that girl When the night's inviting
B7 Em B/F# Em/G C Em/B Gm/Bb A
With just a little light ing There'll never be days like that again
A A/G D/F# D A A/G D/F# D A A/G D/F# D A A/G D/F# D
When I was just a boy and men were men
E/G# Am D/F# G
You never go from moment to moment
D D/C G/B G D D/C G/B G
You're the living of a single fiction double
E/G# Am D/F# G
You're very colourful with your compliments
As you feel the finger's friction
Em A Em A Em
It's a freeze-frame Still it's real life You don't want to look
A Em A D
'cause you've seen the film and you've read the book
[Verse]
G Em
I was looking at the black and white world Trying to name some pin-up
G Em
Those days she was just a beautiful girl Now she's framed and hung up
B7 Em B/F# Em/G C Em/B Gm/Bb A
I thought she was young up until I saw her last night in close detail
A/G D/F# D A/G D/F# D A/G D/F# D A/G D/F# D
Though they all fade away when you're so pale
E/G# Am D/F# G D D/C G/B G D D/C G/B G
It's more than just a physical attraction It starts with a face and ends up a fixation
E/G# Am D/F# G D D/C G/B G D D/C G/B G
But you're never gonna feel a fraction of the way it used to work on your imagination
[Chorus]
D G
When you were looking at the black and white world
D G
When you were looking at the black and white world
D G
When you were looking
[Outro]
D G
When you were looking at the black and white world
D G
When you were looking at the black and white world
D G
When you were looking at the black and white world
D G
When you were looking at the black and white world
D G
When you were looking at the black and white world
