Love this tune.  For me, it's the emotional highlight of Goaths.

This tune was written for piano, so it plays fairly easily on piano but is a disaster on guitar.
The verse and chorus would be would be much simpler played with capo 1 and ignoring the chord
extensions (G F Em F G etc.) but the bridge is gonna be weird either way.

(Feel free to correct anything.  I'm *fairly* confident in *most* of it but a couple things are a little fishy.)

Waves at night, hard waves at dawn
All this coast is vanishing
Check me out, I can't blend in
Check me out, I'm young and ravishing

Wear black on your forgotten radar
Wear black in the present tense
Wear black when you come around
Wear black in your absence

Sun through the trees, head for the sun
Can't find the path back to the main road
See me lord of the Thomas Guide
See me keeper of the source code

Wear black to the intervention
Wear black back to the car
Wear black wherever I go
Wear black wherever you are
