Verse 1
A                                     D A
Life isn't easy from the singular side,
                                           E  E E E7  E E E7
Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide.
A                                               D A
 It's your decision, it's a chance that you take,
                                               E  E E E7  E E E7
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break.  0:51
       D
Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies?
                                            A
Would you take me in, are you lonely in the dark?

You never listen to the voices inside,
                                             E  E E E7  E E E7
They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide.
A                                         D A
 You're never sure if the illusion is real,
                                                E  E E E7  E E E7
You pinch yourself but the mem'ries are all you feel.  1:39
        D
Can you break away from your alibis?
                                             A
Can you make a play, will you meet me in the dark?
D      A     D      E     D      A
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark,
D      A     D      E
in the dark, in the dark, hah, hah, hah...   2:14

                                            E  E E E7  E E E7
You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere.

Can you feel the fire, will you love me in the dark?  3:29

in the dark, in the dark, in the dark,
D      A     D      E
