[Am] [E]
[C#m] I've been confused [F#m] in black and white [Am] When you were [E] baby, I walked alone
Listening [C#m] to my heartbeat in the [F#m] record player
And
[Am] you were [E] born inside
Just when [B] I thought you [A] were gone
You [E] came back, yeah
[B] When I was ready [E] to receive you
You were smooth, [B] you were rough, [A] you were more
[E] Standing up, ah baby
[F#m] Why did I [B] believe you?
[A] Thought believing [E] in love I should cut
Plenty of ways to make you [C#m] real, test every nerve
I took you close [F#m] enough, I loved you just
[Am] And we were [E] born inside
[C#m]
[F#m]
[Am] [E] Just [B] when I knew
We [A] were friends, [E] we were friends
Yeah, [B] as the firelight [E] was gleaming
You were snow, [B] you were rain
[A] You were stripes, [E] and you were pain
Ah baby, [F#m]
can it be [B] you've been stealing
All I [A] got is a [E] little bit of mystery
In the body [C#m] where the destiny
You're still so [F#m] deep inside of me
[Am] When we were [E] born inside
I've been confused in [C#m] black and white
When [F#m]
[Am] you [E] were baby, I walked alone
Listening [C#m] to my [E] heartbeat in the record player
