D//// A//// Em//// (4x)
DIn the dark youAcan sometimes hear your own hEmeartbeat
Or the heart of the one next to youD A Em
DAnd the house settles dAown after holding itselfEmup all day
Shoulders sluDmp, giAves a big sEmigh
You hear no one's foot fDall Ain the hEmall
DThat drip in the kitchen sAink keeps marking tEmime
DJune bug on the window Ascreen can't get in, bEmut keeps on trying
DOne way or anothAer we're all in the dEmark
AFireflies and sparks and lGightning and stars
ACampfires, the moon, heGadlights on cars
AThe Northern lights, the Milky WayG(hold)
You can't see that stuff in the day
D//// A//// Em//// (4x)
DThe Earth turns its bAack on the Emsun
And the stars come out aDnd the plaAnets start to Emrun, around
DThey call that 'dAay is doneEm
DBut really it's jAust getting startEmed
DSome folks take cAomfort in thEmat
HAow dark is it? IGt's too dark for goblins
AHow dark is it? IGt's so dark you can smell the moon
AHow dark is it? IGt's so dark the wind gets lost
AHow dark is it? SGo dark the sky's on fire
AHow dark is it? IGt's (hold) so dark you can see Fort Worth from here
