[Intro 1]
[Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm]
[Em][C]
[Am]Predestination,

[Verse 1]
[Am]
[Bm]not a thing that you'd [Em]plan
[Am]Misunderstanding,
or a [Bm]line in [Em]the sand
[Am]Thunder & lightning,
did [Bm]God have a h[Em]and
[Am]Wasn't it frightening, [Bm]was n't it sad
[G]Would it have mattered,
it [B]the timing was bad
[Am]Something surprising, [Bm]or nothing so [Em]sad
[C]A nig[Am]ht at the Wiskey, or
[Bm]was I just m[Em]ad[C]
[Am]Was it intended, why w[Bm]as I so g[Em]lad
[Am]Was it so lovely, [Bm]did it seem real
[G]Was there a purpose,
I [Em]just [Edim]can't t[F#dim]ell you[D#dim]
[E]It was always

[Verse 2]
[C#m]darkness,
[G#m]time was never on y[C#m]our side
[F#m]That's the rock [B]of ages,
and [E]I could tell you w[C#]hy
I'd [F#]talk about the day[D#]time,
and [G#]tell you 'bout the [A]night
[F#m]You'll have to live in dark[D#]ness
to [E]get some piece of [C#]mind
Don't [A]try to make the [Bsus4]dark ness[B] brig[E]ht,
[C#m]night [A]will always dim th[Bsus4]e light[B][C#m]
[A][F#m]

[Verse 3]
[B]
[Am]Something is a happening,
[Bm]nothing ain't [Em]right
[Am]I've been a waiting,
a [Bm]waiting all [Em]night
[Am]Is it on purpose,
who [Bm]know if [Em]you might
I'm [Am]biting my nails, right [Bm]through to the bone
I [G]seem to be dripping my
[Em]blood on [Edim]the pho[F#dim]ne
[E]It was always

[Verse 4]
[C#m]darkness,
[G#m]time was never on y[C#m]our side
[F#m]That's the rock [B]of ages,
and [E]I could tell you w[C#]hy
I'd [F#]talk about the day[D#]time,
and [G#]tell you 'bout the [A]night
You'll [F#m]have to live in darkn[D#]ess
to [E]get some piece of [C#]mind
Don't [A]try to make the [Bsus4]dark ness[B] brig[E]ht,
[F#]nigh[A]t will always dim [Bsus4]the light[B][C#m]
[A][F#m]

[Verse 5]
[B]
If [E]I could tell you I m[A]ight as well
If [B]it was heard, the [E]honest word
But [C#m]you should know,
like [C]no one knows
[F#]The words, just can't be [B]heard
Now [Am]it don't matter,

[Verse 6]
[Am]
it's [Bm]too l[Em]ate to care
It's [Am]something you'd saviour,
leave [Bm]up i[Em]n the air
You [Am]can 't criticise it,
it [Bm]wouldn't [Em]be fair
You [Am]couldn't do that,
you'd [Bm]be such a bore
It's [G]only the thinking,
that [C#dim]altered t[Edim]he score[F#dim]
[E]It was always

[Verse 7]
[C#m]darkness,
[G#m]time was never on y[C#m]our side
[F#m]That's the rock [B]of ages,
and [E]I could tell you w[C#]hy
I'd [F#]talk about the day[D#]time,
and [G#]tell you 'bout the [A]night
You'll [F#m]have to live in darkn[D#]ess
to [E]get some piece [C#]of mind
Don't [A]try to make the [Bsus4]dark ness[B] brig[E]ht, nigh[F#]t wi[A]ll always dim the [Bsus4]light[B][C#m]
