The Dark

	  		 
 

Intro: D A Em (4x) 

D              A                             Em 
In the dark you can sometimes hear your own heartbeat 
                                   D  A  Em 
Or the heart of the one next to you 
D                      A                       Em 
And the house settles down after holding itself up all day 
             D     A          Em 
Shoulders slump, gives a big sigh 
                        D   A       Em 
You hear no one’s foot fall in the hall 
D                         A                  Em 
That drip in the kitchen sink keeps marking time 
D                      A                     Em 
June bug on the window screen can't get in, but keeps on trying 
D               A                    Em 
One way or another we're all in the dark 


A                         G 
Fireflies and sparks and lightning and stars 
A                      G 
Campfires, the moon, headlights on cars 
A                                 G 
The Northern lights, the Milky Way  

You can't see that stuff in the day 


D-A-Em (4x) 

D                    A          Em 
The Earth turns its back on the sun 
                        D         A             Em 
And the stars come out and the planets start to run, around 
D                A         Em 
They call that 'day is done 
D                A                Em 
But really it's just getting started 
D                A           Em 
Some folks take comfort in that 

 A               G 
How dark is it? It's too dark for goblins 
A                G  
How dark is it? It's so dark you can smell the moon 
A                G  
How dark is it? It's so dark the wind gets lost 
A                G  
How dark is it? So dark the sky's on fire 
A                G (hold) 
How dark is it? It’s so dark you can see Fort Worth from here
