Intro - F#m E Bm E - F#m x 2 

F#m                          E
She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose 
          Bm                               F#m
She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club 
F#m                        E                                 Bm
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right 
                               F#m
Makes her money one dollar at a time 
D                    E                   D
Without the makeup, nobody knows her name 
                 E
And she wears the pain 

     F#m             A
Black tears, rolling down 
        E                     Bm
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town 
     F#m                 A
She reveals, and they all cheer 
        E    Bm      F#m
Then she cries, black tears 

E  Bm  E - F#m

F#m                      E
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced 
Bm                                 F#m
The boss man is still a friend she needs 
F#m                     E
She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine 
Bm                              F#m
Anything to hide the pain for a little while 
D                              E             D
The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes 
                             E
You can tell she knows it when she cries 

     F#m             A
Black tears, rolling down 
        E                     Bm
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town 
     F#m            A
White lights on the mirror 
          E    D
Just won't hide, black tears 
D                     E                D
She tries and tries so hard to get away 
               E
But everybody's watching 

     F#m             A
Black tears, rolling down 
        E                     Bm
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town 
          F#m              E - A
If all the pain would just disappear 
          E                      D
She'd quit cryin', yeah she'd quit cryin' 
    F#m     E  Bm  E - F#m
Black tears 

F#m  E  Bm  E - F#m
