A F#m
Dark never came, and we spoke in the sand 'til we ran out of things to say.
D A
Oh no, when they served you on a plate;
F#m
they were frowning and bowing their heads like birds of prey.
D A
Oh no, I was taking my time while the stars aligned,
You were holding my hand like a bottle,
F#m D A
'til it tingled right down to the tips and then it shattered our bones!
D
Are you at peace when you're feeding the beast?
A
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
D
Solemn and content to die alone.
A
But other people, in the darkness,
D
cower in their beds and dine alone.
D
A
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh!
A
Nightly attacks; rip the meat from your back
F#m
when we're sleeping warm and close.
D A
Oh no, and you're feeding it your ideas
even though it doesn't like the taste.
F#m D
'Cause they burn, and it grows,
A
While you're waiting outside on your sister's roof
for the light to stream out of the garden,
F#m D
I'll be lying face down in an empty pool
A
as the rain falls hot on the bottom.
G#m G F#m Fb
And we're wasting our time, if you can't be kind,
D A
And I'll take the flashlight down to the basement, and it'll swallow me whole!
A
Oooo-oooo
D
Blood on your face, you were born for the chase,
A
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
D
Counting sins and taking things as signs,
A
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
D
Growing fins and breaking limbs in time,
A
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
D
Nothing's gonna ease your worried mind.
