(Intro)
B
Verse 1
B
And I came to, walking on the train tracks
G#m F#
How did I get here? And how do I get back?
E
I’ve been up all night, let’s stay awake
B F#
Push it further, you know I’ll never break
B
At some point in the party, I thought my heart was failing
G#m F#
You said, “Hey, you’re okay; you seem to be still standing”
E
Flashes appeared at the corner of my eyes
B F#
I saw the stars and I didn’t ask why
E
Heard the voices and caught my breath
D#m
So close and yet so far from death
C#m
So close and yet so far from death
F#
So close and yet so far from death
(Pre-Chorus)
B
Well, the feeling was always too much for me
G#m F#
It always came too strong
E F#
I wanted to get it right so badly that I always got it wrong
B
So you keep pushing on
G#m F#
You hope it won’t be long
E
‘Til you can find the child you were
F#
And find a way to get along
(Chorus)
E
Don’t go blindly into the dark
D#m
In every one of us shines the light of love
C#m
Don’t go blindly into the dark
F#
In every one of us shines the light of love
E
Don’t go blindly into the dark
D#m
In every one of us shines the light of love
C#m
Don’t go blindly into the dark
F# E D#m C#m F#
In every one of us shines the light of love
[INSTRUMENTAL]
E D#m C#m F#
(Verse-2)
C#m D#m
And, oh, my little sister, when the drugs were wearing off
E F#
I climbed into your bed and said, “I think I did too much”
C#m D#m
In some ways that was simpler, being too fucked up to see
D# G#m
I didn’t have to wake up to the world that was around me
C#m D#m
And now we are awake and it seems too much to take
E F#
I want to close my eyes because I fear my heart will break
C#m
I want to look away
D#m
I want to look away
D#
I want to look away
G#m E F#
I must not look away
(Chorus)
E
Don’t go blindly into the dark
D#m
In every one of us shines the light of love
C#m
Don’t go blindly into the dark
F#
In every one of us shines the light of love
E
Don’t go blindly into the dark
D#m
In every one of us shines the light of love
C#m
Don’t go blindly into the dark
F#
In every one of us shines the light of love
(Bridge)
B G#m F# B G#m F# x8
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when it’s clear
When it’s over you’ll start
You’re my head, you’re my heart
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away
And I’d do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowd I was crying out and
In your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me I need to make it right
You want a revelation
You want to get it right
And it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away
And I’d do anything to, to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
But would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve done
And would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve become
‘Cause it’s so easy
To say it to a crowd
But it’s so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away
And I’d do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
You want a revelation
You want to get it right
But, it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
You want a revelation
You want to get it right
But, it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say
