NOTE - I'm posting two different ways to play this. All down to personal 
preference on which one you think sounds nicer. Let me know what you all think :)


1] STANDARD TUNING


Intro - Strum Em


Em                              D
All these broken pieces left unglued,
       Em
Should never find their way,
          D
Into the hands of someone like you.


           Em
I'm in the dark,
     C           D   
I'm alone around you.
A                     Em
I've never been here before,
        C             D
Nobody here to get me through.
A              Em
Oh I'm in the dark.


Strum Em


Em                           D
Every minute shared is never mine,
Em                     
Frozen in this fog and hiding,
D
Every second in time.


           Em
I'm in the dark,
     C           D   
I'm alone around you.
A                     Em
I've never been here before,
        C             D
Nobody here to get me through.


A                Em             C
Oh I'm losing my faith in every way,
               D
That points to you.
A             Em
Oh I'm in the dark,
     C           D
I'm alone around you.
A             C
Oh I'm in the dark.


    G               D
The more bleak the day,
    A        C
The less I behave as if,
Em         D                C
Everything black can wash away.


   G          D        A          C
Or can I just trade a dream for a way,
   Em             D                Em  C  D  A  Em  C  Dm
To peel back the shade behind the gray?

           Em
I'm in the dark,

I've never been here before,
        C             D
Nobody here to get me through.
A              Em
Oh I'm in the dark,
