Am G F Em
AmAll the people
GAll those ordin'ry lives
FBuilding on the outskirts of my Emmind
They Amride the Iron Pilgrim
To Emholidays for the head
If Fplans were hand grenades
We'd all be Gdead
It's Cdark
It's dark where the roses Emgrow
There's something that you should kDmnow
Before you see the lGight, oh

It's dark where the roses gEmrow
There's places I have to Dmgo
Before I see the Glight, oh
AmPlaying all five stages
The Gfestival of grief
FGod and problems,what can stop them 
Emrealise
The Ambottles in the drug store
Were Emall just piss and ink
The Fflags you wore
Are rags under the Gsink, now...
It's Cdark
It's dark where the roses Emgrow
There's something that you should kDmnow
Before you see the lGight, oh

CAPO - 1st Fret

Am G F Em

All the people

All those ordin'ry lives

F Em

Building on the outskirts of my mind

They ride the Iron Pilgrim

To holidays for the head

If plans were hand grenades

We'd all be dead

It's dark

It's dark where the roses grow

There's something that you should know

Before you see the light, oh

It's dark

It's dark where the roses grow

There's places I have to go

Before I see the light, oh

Playing all five stages

The festival of grief

God and problems,what can stop them

realise

The bottles in the drug store

Were all just piss and ink

The flags you wore

Are rags under the sink, now...

It's dark

It's dark where the roses grow

There's something that you should know

Before you see the light, oh

It's dark

It's dark where the roses grow

There's places I have to go

Before I see the light, oh

C C G C

C C Bm

(or G) X2

Dm Bm Dm Em

It's dark

It's dark where the roses grow

There's something that you should know

Before you see the light, oh

It's dark

It's dark where the roses grow

There's places I have to go

Before I see the light, oh
