Not Dark Yet Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Shadows are falling,
[F]and I've been here [C]all day
It's too hot to sleep,
[F]and time is run[C]ning away
[G]I feel like my soul has[F] turned into ste[C]el
[Am]I've still got the s[C]cars,
[G]that the [F]sun didn't [C]let [G]meheal
There's not even room [Em]enough,
[F]to be anywhere
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]It's not dark [C]yet,[G]
[F]but it's getting the[C]re

[Verse 3]
[C]
Well, my sense of humanity,
[F]is goin' dow[C]n the drain
Behind every beautiful thing,
[F]there's been some [C]kind of pain
[G]She wrote me a letter,
and she [F]wrote it so [C]kind
[Am]She put down in writ[C]ing,
[G]what was in [F]her min[C]d[G]
I just don't see why I should
[F]even [C]care[Am]
And it's not [G]dark yet,

[Verse 4]
[F]
but it's [C]getting there

[Verse 5]
[C]
Well, I've been to London,
and I've [F]been to gay [C]Paris
I've followed the river, and I [F]got to the [C]sea
[G]I've been down to the bottom,
of a [F]world full of [C]lies
[Am]Ain't lookin' for nothing,[G]
[F]in anyone's eyes[C][G]
Sometimes my burden,
is more than [F]I can b[C]ear[Am]
And it's [G]not dark yet,

[Verse 6]
[F]
but it's [C]getting there

[Verse 7]
[C]
I was born here, and I'll die [F]here,
against [C]my will
Know it looks like I'm moving,
but I'm standing still
[G]Every nerve in my body,
is so [F]naked and num[C]b
[Am]Can't remember what it was,[G]
I came here [F]to get away [C]from[G]
I don't even hear a [F]murmur
of a pray[C]er[Am]
And it's [G]not dark yet,

[Verse 8]
[F]
but it's [C]getting [G]there
Sometimes my burden is
more than [F]I can b[C]ear[Am]
And it's not dark [C]yet, [F]but it's getting there
