In the Dark

chord dissection by Matt Rowley

Intro  G -> Am 
Doo doodoo doo doodoo dooooo


G
We started looking for you 
Am
In the darker caves 
G
We had a lot of love 
   Am
We thought would light the way 
G                                            
We saw the wrecks of buildings 
Em     
And ships that sank in starlight 
G                       
We saw the ghosts of angels 
Em                                  
That spoke of falls from tremendous heights

                           Am
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           G
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           Am
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           G
Don't you leave us in the dark 

G
We saw your old flames 
Am
And some were burning yet 
G
It made us smile to see 
              Am
Just how well tended each was kept 
G  
But other fires were burning too 
Em
And I saw the battlefields 
G           
The dying Light Brigade 
          Em  
Stretched out upon the wheel

                           Am
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           G
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           Am
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           G
Don't you leave us in the dark 

G                       Am
Doo doodoo doo doodoo dooooooo x 4


G
Every heart is much the same 
Am
We tell ourselves down here 
G
The same chambers fed by veins 
         Am
The same maze of love and fear 
G
We thought you were a saint 
        Em
But the halo was an eye 
G
It's hard to see how there could be 
Em
So much dark inside the light

                           Am
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           G
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           Am
Don't you leave us in the dark 
                           G
Don't you leave us in the dark
