[Verse 1]
E
All those metaphors you learn in high school
E7 A
Dark and light is wrong and right it never made sense to me
E
Here's what I can see:
[Chorus]
B
You can't see the stars if there's too much light
B7
Ain't nothing like holding you in the middle of the night
A
After getting burned by the sun in a hard day's work
B E
Baby I'm fine with the dark

G# C#m A E
I tossed my coin in to that wishing well
G# C#m A E
and jumped right in after it as far as I could tell
G# C#m A E
That great void was full of infinity
C#m A E
Black as the fear of endless possibilities
G# C#m A E
Black as the moonless woods of my unsung prayer
G# C#m A E
Black as the velvet Elvis of my repair
G# C#m A F#
Black as the color of my true love's hair
