In the Dark

Life isn't easy from the singular side

5 5 5 5 5 -5 6 -5 5 6 6 -5
Down in the hole, some emotions are hard to hide

5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4 4
It's your decision, it's a chance that you take

5 5 5 5 5 -5 6 -5 5 6 -5 -6
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break

7 7 7 -6 -6
Do you need a friend

-6 -6 -6 6 6
Would you tell no lies

7 7 7 -6 -6
Would you take me in

-6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 5
Are you lonely in the dark

6 6 5
In the dark

You never listen to the voices inside

They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide

You're never sure if the illusion is real

You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel

Can you break away

From your alibis

Can you make a play

Oh, will you meet me in the dark

In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

Don'tcha need me, hey, hey

Don'tcha need me, oh yeah

Don'tcha leave me, hey, hey

+Don'tcha need me, oh yeah
