The Black Market Uke tab by Rise Against

Cm - F
A currency of heartache and sorrow
The air we breathe is stale with mold
To shadows, we are slaves digging deeper every day
But emptiness is growing so old

Cm - F
Headlamps light the tunnels we wander
They shimmer and they dance on the walls
We're lost inside these caves as the chances of escape
Cm - F                                  C
Grow slimmer 'til there's no chance at all

Ab
This ink, it travels from the page
        F
Up my hand and to my veins
Cm                              Bb
Choking on those stories I've told
               Ab
If there are words here left to say
F                     Ab
I just wanna let you know

       Bb                      Cm
I'm falling on my knees right now
       Eb                  Ab
I'm covered in the mess I made
        Bb                       Cm
These colors used to wash right out
     Eb                     Ab
But now they are a part of me
             Bb                   Cm
I've been searching for a remedy
               Eb                       Ab
When all along it's been in front of me
             Bb              Cm  
I need you here, I need you now

Right now

Cm - F
We traffic in the blackest of markets
Trade misery like diamonds and gold
The angst that we exchange for applause and petty praise
   Cm           F          G
Is finally now taking its toll

                Ab 
But there's a world above the ground
      F
A life that we can lead
         Cm                            Bb
We're washing off the dirt from our clothes
          Ab
I don't wanna live without
F                         Ab
I just wanna let you know


       Bb                      Cm
I'm falling on my knees right now
       Eb                  Ab
I'm covered in the mess I made
        Bb                       Cm
These colors used to wash right out
     Eb                     Ab
But now they are a part of me
             Bb                   Cm
I've been searching for a remedy
               Eb                       Ab
When all along it's been in front of me
             Bb              Cm - Bb 
I need you here, I need you now


(Transition)
Cm - Eb
Right now
Bb - Ab
Right now, oh-oh


Cm
(Black stains) they mark me like a letter
Eb
(Don't fade) cracking under the pressure
Bb                             Ab
(Black stains) nothing stays gold


                Ab 
But there's a world above the ground
      F
A life that we can lead
         Cm                            Bb
But we're lost deep down in these holes
          Ab
And I have seen the way out
     F                   Ab
Now I just wanna let you know

Bb                      Cm
I'm falling on my knees right now (black stains)
Eb                  Ab
I'm covered in the mess I made (won't fade)
Bb                      Cm
These colors used to wash right out (black stains)
Eb                  Ab
But now they are a part of me
Bb                      Cm
I've been searching for a remedy
Eb                  Ab
When all along it's been in front of me
                 Bb                      Cm
Your voice, it washed the stains away
                                Ab - Bb
(It washed the stains away) oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Cm - Eb
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
                               Ab - Bb               Cm
(It washed the stains away) oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
