[verse: 1]
|D      |C  G         |D     |C   G  |
 Night, falls and I'm alone
|D            |C      G        |D     |C   G  |
  Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone
|D        |C      G      |D           |C    G  
 You,     turned and you ran,          oh yeah
    |D       |C      G      |D    | C    G   
Oh, slipped,  right from my hand
 
[chorus:]
     |D                              |
Hey, blue on black, tears on a river
|C                G                  |
 Push on a shove, it don't mean much
|D                                 |
 Joker on jack, match on a fire
|C            G                    |
 Cold on ice, a dead man's touch
|D                          |
 Whisper on a scream___ 
|C                G                      |A        |G      {let ring}         
 Doesn't change a thing,  don't bring you back________ 
        |D         |C        G      
Blue on black,     oh yeah
        |D         |C        G    |
Blue on black
 
[verse: 2]
|D         |C    G    |D      |C    G   |
 Blind,    oh,  now I see
|D         |C     G       |D     |C    G   |
 Truth,    lies, and in between
|D         |C     G      |D     | C    G   |
 Wrong,    can't be    undone
    |D          |C       G           |D     |C    G   
Oh, slipped,    from the tip of your tongue

 Joker on jack, match on a fire
