Em          G      D   A
(Black gold, black gold)
       Em          G      D   A
(Black gold, black gold)

[Verse 1]

Em                         G
I know you better than you know yourself
D                        A
You're not a secret or a story to tell
Em                        G
I walk on runways just to know you're safe
D                            A
Ain't nothing sacred in this hostile place

[Pre-Chorus]

      Em             G        D                   A
Don't change, don't change, I need you tonight, I need you tonight
      Em             G                  D                     A
Don't change, don't change, we'll take down satellites, take down satellites
Bm D                          Bm  A          C
     You're not gonna be afraid   Now it's a little late

[Chorus]

      Bm                      A          Em
Black gold is the colour, the dawn never comes
D              A                  Bm
  And we don't answer when you're wrong (Black gold like no other)
       A       Em     D                A                 Bm
Did we ever belong?     Just take them on and then we're gone (Black gold is the colour)
    A          Em     D              A
The dawn never comes,   and we don't answer...

[Verse 2]

Em                         G
Put your hand up if you're running scared
D                      A
Choke my engine, it cannot be repaired
Em                            G
Our superheroes, well, where are they now?
D                            A
Put your foot down till the petrol runs out

[Pre-Chorus]

      Em             G        D                   A
Don't change, don't change, I need you tonight, I need you tonight
      Em             G                  D                     A
Don't change, don't change, we'll take down satellites, take down satellites
Bm D                          Bm  A          C
     You're not gonna be afraid   Now it's a little late

[Chorus]

      Bm                      A          Em
Black gold is the colour, the dawn never comes
D              A                  Bm
  And we don't answer when you're wrong (Black gold like no other)
       A      Em     D                A                 Bm
Did we ever belong?    Just take them on and then we're gone (Black gold is the colour)
    A          Em    D               A                  Bm
The dawn never comes,  and we don't answer when you're wrong (Black gold like no other)
       A      Em     D                 A                Bm
Did we ever belong?    Just take them on and then we're gone

[Bridge]

      Bm                      A          Em      D   A
Black gold is the colour, the dawn never comes
      Bm                         A      Em       D   A   Bm
Black gold is the colour, did we ever belong?
