Arctic Monkeys Black Treacle Lyrics

Arctic Monkeys - Black Treacle
This is Alex Turner's part for the song, which is mainly chords until the little
solo medley bit at the end of the Chorus.
VERSE 1:
Lately I've been seeing things,
Belly button piercings,
In the sky at night,
When we're side-by-side.
And I don't mean to rain,
On anybody's caboret,
One of those games you're gonna lose,
But you wanna play it just incase.
CHORUS 1:
Now it's getting dark,
And the sky looks sticky,
More like black treacle than tar,
Black treacle,
Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight,
So they found a place to hide.
(On the second Cm, sometimes I like to play this: |--5~--|
SOLO THING:
It's pretty much the same until the bridge:
BRIDGE:
Now I'm out of place,
And I'm not getting any wiser,
I feel like the Sundance Kid,
Behind a synthesizer,
And I tried last night,
To pack away a laugh,
Like a key under the mat,
Well it never seems to be there,
When you want it.
Repeat the solo thing over the chorus 'till end, ending on:
LEGEND/KEY:
m = Minor
~ = Let ring
/ = Slide up
b = Bend
