### This is my 1st submission to OLGA, and is all my own. Hope you like it

### Starts with G, repeated for 8 beats

G              F            C
The lights are off again 
            G
She took me by surprise 
         F                  C
She's so sensitive 
               G
This shit just happens sometimes 
         F                  C
She's my everything 
              G
She's my best friend and more 
            F               C
We don't do anything 
          G
We didn't do the day 
  F
Before you go 
    Em
You oughta know 
             Eb                        Dsus4         D 
That I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted you to know 

###1st chorus

G               F                C
Black tears are falling down her face 
         Bb    C    Dm   (C Dm)
And I am wrong
G               F               C                   Bb    C    Dm   (C Dm)
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done
G               F                  C      Bb    C    Dm   (C Dm)
She's sitting here beside me, then she is gone
Bb          C   Dm              G
Black tears are falling, falling 

###2nd verse
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/folds_ben/losing_lisa_crd.html ]
G        F         C
Remember long ago 
         G
Together laughing, loving 
      F         C
Oh so long ago 
             G
When we were buying something 
         F            C
Life was simple then 
              G
But she's not happy now, and I 
           F         C
Don't feel anything 
             G
Her lips are moving 
     F
I am mesmerised 
   Em
By tiny lies 
    Eb                                 Dsus4           D
I'm watching as the shapes are drawing slowly from her eyes 

###2nd chorus

G               F                C
Black tears are falling down her face 
         Bb    C    Dm   (C Dm)
And I am wrong 
                                                                          
G               F               C                   Bb    C    Dm   (C Dm)
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done
G               F             C      Bb    C    Dm   (C Dm)
She's sitting here beside me, then she is gone
Bb          C   Dm           C
Black tears are falling, falling 
Bb          C   Dm           C   Dsus4    D
Black tears are falling, falling 

### Bridge

F

And there's nothing I can do
