Em
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black (Woo)
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black
Em          Am         D          Am      D
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black
Em          Am         D          Am      D
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black

Em                  Am
At first, you will find
    D               Am         D         Em
A prophecy of what could have been, you know
(You know)
                  Am                       D
You know, there's all sorts of crap on the TV
       Am  D
these days
         Em               Am
Now you won't live after such disaster
          D                      Am
You're a lot full of smashed-up cars
                      D                         Em
Cross-hatched in the metal when you're cracking up
                        Am     D
But you're part of the pack, pup
                         Am               D
You're part of something bigger than the laws of
 C
nature
       G
Mrs. Thatcher
       C              G         B7            Em
Your cruel heart navigates the world we live in
         A
With its anger
C              B7
Going nowhere, coming at ya

Chorus:
Em            Am
Rapture in my head
               D           Am       D
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Em             Am
Rapture, oh my Lord
                   D
I've been playing catch-up
      Am     D
I'm already bored
Em          Am
La-la-la-la-la
             D           Am    D
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Oh, God, tell me I sure am on the list
How can you make yourself so scarce
from someone you love?
Oh, it don't make sense
Your love is never better than the morning after
(Morning after)
Well, Mother Nature, coming at ya

Chorus:
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm already bored
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm already bored

    Em     D
Oh, rapture
    Am     C D
Oh, rapture
    Em     D
Oh, rapture
    Am     C D
Oh, rapture
             Em            D
'Cause it's rapture in my head
                Am
You say this is up
       C     D
I'm already dead
Em             D
Rapture in my head
                Am
You say this is up
       C     D
I'm already dead
Em           D           Am
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
C        D   Em
I'm already dead
       D           Am             C D
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
