(A D A E)(2x)
I killed a party again
I ruined it for my friends
well you're so silent, Jens
well maybe I am, maybe I am
now at the central station
no time for being patient
I feel like going home
but at the same time I don't
A D A E
black cab, black cab
A D A E
black cab, black cab
A D A E
black cab, black cab
A D A E
black cab, black cab
and I've heard all the stories
'bout the black cabs and the way they drive
but if you take a ride with them
you may not come back alive
they might be psycho killers
but tonight I really don't care
so I say turn up the music
take me home or take me anywhere
black cab, black cab
black cab, black cab

C#m
you don't know anything
Dmaj7
so please don't ask me any questions
C#m
you don't know anything
Dmaj7
so don't ask me questions

just turn the music up
Dmaj7
and keep your mouth shut
black cab, black cab
black cab, black cab
