Black and white boy
          G
You're so extreme
          Bm
You're so confused
          Bb   C   D  C6  D
Color me in 
         Bb   C   D  C6  D
Whatever mood I'm in
           G                   Bm          
I could be still in touch with you
           

           G
And you're full of the wonder of spring
         Bm
It's all sweetness and lightness you bring
           F#7                                   D
And a room full of people fall to your infinite charm
         G
But when darkness should quickly descend
        Bm
You go quietly, my miserable friend
       F#7
To the depths of despair you will crawl

In touch with you


         G
When you shake off the shadows of night
         Bm
And your eyes are so clear and so bright
            F#7
You'll make fools of the liars and creeps
                 D
Put a rose in my cheeks
         G
But when demons have climbed on your back
        Bm
You are vicious and quick to attack
        F#7
And you put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?


                D               F#m
Black and white boy     Ahhhhhh
                D               F#m
Black And White boy     Ahhhhhh
        G
And you run like a cat to the cream
           Bm
And you're acting so nice it's obscene
    F#7
You put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
