Verse 1:
    B            E
Is this what I live for?
       B          E
To be choked in a toy store
      G       A     E
While staring into hell
        B                E
There's?something?that's beautiful
       B            E
Being awake?for my funeral
         G       A        E
You can close the?casket now

Pre-Chorus:
     G           A                 E
The plans for my father's hopeless seed
D         G      A
Born into moral poverty
 G                  A             E
Still, I wasn't the angel heaven sent
   D                G     A
To break through my cliché boundaries


Chorus:
       G          A       E
'Cause Friday is black for me
      G          A          E
The dreamer has dreamed her dream
     G         A
When Friday is black
        G          A
There's no turning back
       G         A         E
'Cause Friday is black for me


Verse 2:
    B                   E
Is there some lesson to learn
       B              E
Should I never have wanted?
        B         E
I never even got started
             G           A         E
Or were the decks always just this stacked


Verse 3:
          B              E
I mean, it's really a godsend
 B                     E
Clear my plans for the weekend
          G        A    E
But there's nothing to subtract
G           A                E
I don't want your half-baked sympathy
D            G              A
When did it save those in need?
 G               A                E
Still, I thought that angels did exist
  D               G              A
But now I hope they plan to end it quick


Chorus:
     G           A          E
'Cause Friday is black for me
        G         A        E
Only my ashes will see the sea
     G         A
When Friday is black
        G         A
There's no turning back
      G           A        E
'Cause Friday is black for me


Bridge:
     E                          G
At first I didn't know what she was to me
     E                         G
At first I didn't know why I cared
   A
Or why I wanted
    G               A        E
To hold her and rock her to sleep
       G             A              E
Did I need her more than she needed me?

G          A
Maybe I'm wrong
        D          Em
She can go on her own
    G          A
But I'm leaving


Chorus:
        G        A         E
'Cause Friday is black for me
        G          A       E
Only my ashes will see the sea
     G         A
When Friday is black
       G           A
There's no turning back
      G          A
'Cause Friday is black-
