Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][Dm][Am][F][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
You've been up too [F]late,
[Dm]sitting in a cool [Am]room,
Staring at [F]the ceiling,
[Dm]waiting for a call[Am].
​I know where you [F]live,
[G]I c[Dm]an hear you breathi[Am]ng,[C]
No matter what [F]you do now,
[E]tears are gon[Am]na fal[Dm]l.[Am]
​

[Verse 2]
​Something in [Dm]the dark is
big enough to [Am]hold you,
It's [Dm]picking at your heart,
a little piece at [Am]a time.
There's a shadow on [Dm]the wall,
you hear voices in an [Am]empty room,
Something in the [F]dark will
[E]get you every tim[Am]e.
​

[Verse 3]
​There's nothing you [F]can say,
[Dm]you haven't said alrea[Am]dy,
There's nowhere you can [F]go
[Dm]that you haven't been.[Am]
You could have made a [F]deal,
[Dm]when your hands we[Am]re st[G]eady,[C]
Before you shut [F]the door[G]
[E]on your onl[Am]y friend.
​

[Verse 4]
​Something in the [Dm]dark is
big enough to [Am]hold you,
It's [Dm]picking at your heart,
a little piece at [Am]a time.
There's a shadow on [Dm]the wall,
you hear voices in an [Am]empty room,
Something in [F]the dark [Dm]will [E]get you every tim[Am]e.

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][F][E]
[Am]

[Verse 5]
​ Then I watch [Am]you
step,
[G]if [Dm]you ever [Am]take[G] one,
You [F]could stumble in the dark[G]ness,
[Dm]or fumble in t[Am]he light.
Your breath is getting [F]heavy,
[Dm]drowning out your [Am]foot[G]steps,[C]
You can [F]run, [G]run, [E]run,
and never get it [Am]right.

[Verse 6]
​Something in the [Dm]dark is
big enough to [Am]hold you,
It's [Dm]picking at your heart,
a little piece at [Am]a time.
You can try [Dm]to scream but
nobody can [Am]hear you
Something in [F]the dark [E]will get you every [Am]time
