[Intro] E
EAE Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
AE It's too hot to sleep and time is running away
BB/AG#mF#E Feel like my soul has turned into steel
C#mBAE I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
BB/AG#mF#E There's not even room enough to be anywhere
C#mBAE It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
EAE Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain
EAE Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain
BB/AG#mF# E She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
C#mBAE She put down in writin' what was in her mind
BB/A G#mF#m E I just don't see why I should even care
C#mBAE It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
EAE Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris
EAE I followed the river and I got to the sea
BB/AG#mF# I've been down to the bottom of a world full of lies
C#mBAE I ain't lookin for nothin' in anyone's eyes
BB/AG#mF#E Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
C#mBAE It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
EAE I was born here and I'll die here, against my will
EAE I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
BB/AG#mF#E Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
C#mBAE I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
BB/AG#mF#E Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
C#mBAE
