The Dark

Intro: C  D  Em  G  C 

Em                  D      C Cmaj7 
My fire is starved of oxygen 
C               D        Em 
A flicker in the howling wind 
C                   D       Em 
Beware the night is closing in 
                          D        G 
And if I fall asleep, the shadows win 

         Em               D       C 
Well the darkness came to take my faith 
                     D        Em 
It tried to steal my words to pray 
   C                   D    Em 
My love came down like holy rain 
                  D/F#     G    D  G  C  D/F#  D 
And she became my God that day 

Em                D        G 
And she became my God that day 

Em                   D         C 
She taught me how to think out loud 
                D             Em 
To listen when there ain't no sound 
C               D              Em 
To love myself through all the doubt 
                    D/F#   G     D  G  C  G  D 
To sing and make my mother proud 

    Em                  D      G     D  G  C  G  D 
Oh, to sing and make my mother proud 

     Em                  D      G 
Mmm, to sing and make my mother proud 

       Em                D    C 
In the dark I learned to love again 
                    D      Em 
A sacred place it's always been 
      C                D    Em 
Where souls depart and life begins 
                   D     G 
The dark led me to light again 
      Em                 D/F#  G     D  G  C  G  D 
Yeah, the dark led me to light again 

      Em                 D     G     D  G  C  G  D 
Yeah, the dark led me to light again 

      Em                 D     G 
Yeah, the dark led me to light again
