[Intro 1]
[A][G][A][D]
[A]

[Verse 1]
In the [F]far
[A]des[G]ert
On a distant blasted [E]plain[A]
A forgotten [D]corner[A]
Amid the death of [F]all [G]things
Not under the blinding [A]sun or
[D]the cultivator's [A]toil
Only in [Em]dark[G]ness does the
flower take [Am]hold[A]

[Interlude 1]
It blooms at night
[D][F][Fm][F]
[G][Am][C][Dsus4][C][F]

[Verse 2]
In the [F]old [G]city
In abandoned [Am]shells
On a desolated [Dsus4]edge
[C][Dsus4][C][F]
Amid the death of all thing[G]s
Not under the scornful [Am]eye or the
[Dm]corporation's [Dsus4]hand[C][F]
Only in [G]darkness does the flower
take [Am]hold[F][Dsus4][C][Dsus4]
It blooms [C]at night

[Interlude 2]
[F][G][Am][F][C][F]

[Verse 3]
In my [F]own [G]head
Near the hole where hope [C]drains [Am]out
And fear is [Dsus4]branded d[C]eep[F]
Amid the death of [G]all things
Not un[C]der [Am]law or the thoughts I
had [C]be [Dsus4]fore[C][F][Aaug]
[F]Only in [G]darkness [Gsus4]does[G]
the flower [Am]take hold
[F]It blooms at [C]night[Dsus4]
It [C]blooms at night

[Interlude 3]
[F][Fm][Gsus4][G]
[C][G][C][Am][C][Dsus4][C]

[Verse 4]
[F]In a valley filled [C]with [G]flowers[C][Am]
unseen in [C]the [Dsus4]dark[C][Dsus4][C][F]
In a valley [C]filled [G]with flowers[C]
[Am]unseen in [C]the [Dsus4]dark

[Verse 5]
[Dsus4]It blooms[C] at night
[F]It blooms at night
[G]It [C]blooms at [Am]night[C]
