"Jet Black And Jealous" by Paul Sanchez
from "Jet Black And Jealous"
Intro: D
Verses:
D A Bm
You read the entire works of T.H. White
G D A
And I never asked you any questions
D A Bm
and you looked just like a movie queen last night
G D A
so I didn't mind the extra waiting
G D
but you beat my arms with your slashing tongue
A Bm
and it was no fun for me in fact
G A D
it was black, jet black and jealous
(all verses the same. On last verse, when final line is repeated
3 times, insert Bm between each repeated line so it is G A D Bm).
And you stalked me slinking cat like on the prowl
I shrug and pretend that I can't hear you
Then you hold your breath until I ask you how
And then how yourself you shoot back in my face
You lick your finger and you wipe your eyes
And you smear the streaking stain
They're black, jet black and jealous
Bridge:
A D
There's a blind rage building you can't control
A D
you suck in hot air that comes out cold
G D
you're building a cage that surrounds your soul
A D
and pulls you down, deeper down
A D A
down, down, deeper dow - n
And the people making love inside your head
They have no life except for what you give them
Yeah laughing dancing falling into bed
Sickend by the scent of your suspicion
You cut yourself in the wee wee hours
And you don't bleed red instead
It's black, jet black and jealous
It's black, jet black and jealous
It's black, jet black and jealous
