G
Lately I've been seeing things
              D   C
Belly button piercings
         G          D
In the sky, at night
            C          G
When we're side by side

    G
And I don't mean to rain
              D     C
On anybody's cabriolet
              G                  D
One of those games you're gonna lose
                C              G
But you wanna play it just in case

Chorus:
                  C             D         G
Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
                      C       D  G
More like black treacle than tar
            C       D    G        A
Black treacle, somebody told the stars
            Cm               G
You're not coming out tonight
             Cm                  G D Em C G
And so they found a place to hide

Does it help you stay up late?
Does it help you concentrate?
Does it tune you in when you chew your chin?
Am I ruining your fun?
And you talk the talk alright
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
You wanted it, you got it
But you don't want it now

Does it help you stay up late?
Does it help you concentrate?
Does it tune you in when you chew your chin?
Am I ruining your fun?
And you talk the talk alright
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
You wanted it, you got it
But you don't want it now

                     C                D           G
And now I'm out of place and I'm not getting any wiser
                 C              D          G
I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer
       Em                  C            D
And I tried last night to pack away a laugh
        G             Cm
Like a key under the mat
          C              D
But it's never seems to be there
               G D Em
When you want it

C           G D Em
Black treacle
C           G D Em
Black treacle
C           G D Em C G
Black treacle
