[Intro]
D     C  G  x2

[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                    C                G
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
                A      G           
Don't bring you back...    
        D         C  G
Blue on black, oh yeah...
        D      C  G
Blue on black...

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

[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                    C                G
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
                A      G              
Don't bring you back, yeah...
        D      C  G

Blue on black, oh... yeah
