Em
She puts on her work clothes
D
Fishnet pantyhose
            Am
She's got a nickname everybody knows
Em
At the gentlemen's club
Em
She clocks in at midnight
D
Even though it never feels right
Am
She makes her money one dollar at a time

[Bridge 1]
C               D
Without makeup, nobody knows her name
                  D
And she wears the pain

[Chorus 1]
      Em     G
Black tears, rolling down
         D                     Am
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
     Em                 G
She reveals, and they all cheer
        D     Am      Em
Then she cries, black tears

D Am D Em

[Verse 2]
Em                       Em
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced
Am                      Em
The boss man is still a friend she needs
Em                      D
She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine
Am                              Em
Anything to hide the pain for a little while

[Bridge 2]
C                               D
The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes
                          D
You can tell she knows it when she cries

[Chorus 2]
      Em     G
Black tears, rolling down
         D                     Am
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
     Em              G
White lights, on the mirror
           D     C
Just won't hide, black tears

[Verse 3]
C                      D               C
She tries and tries so hard to get away
               D
But everybody's watching

[Chorus 4]
      Em     G
Black tears, rolling down
         D                     Am
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
           Em
If all the pain
      D    G
Would just disappear
           D
She'd quit cryin'
                 C
Yeah, she'd quit cryin'
      Em    D  Am  D  Em x2
Black tears
