Little Black Ache
Bishop Allen
A E D E
Chasing my excuses to the end of the night
Tried to make a friend, but it ended with a fight
A E D A
I don't know why and I don't know when
A E A
But my keys have found a way to lock me out again
Sleeping on the subway in my interview tie
Wander through the rain, sit and wonder why
A E Bm D
I haven't got a plan, I haven't got a clue
A E A
I've only got one lonely thing that's gonna see me through
A E D A
I've got my little black ache (What you got?)
I've got my little black ache (What you got?)
I've got my little black ache (What you got?)
A E A
My little black ache won't fade

Lovely little girl, crowded little place
I swear on this old Bible that I've never seen her face
She talks like I know what she's talking about
Somewhere there's a door that's got to let me out
Hello, sleepless soul I'm a passing on the street
Know that like me you only rest on your feet
I know I had some friends, I can almost hear their names
Now I got one lonely thing and no on left to blame
I've got my little black ache . . .
