   AmBeen spending so much time underground
   EmI guess my eyes adjusted
   FTo the lack of light
I got
EmCovered in darkness
ECovered in darkness
   AmI have been waiting
Always waiting for something new
   EmHappiness has always ended
   FIn the blink of an eye
There was Emno one attending
ENo one attending
[Chorus]
   AmIt doesn't really Emmatter where it all began
FAll I know
I got Emcovered in darkness
ECovered in darkness
[RIFF]
Am Em F Em E
[Verse]
    AmEver wonder why I never really truly connect
    EmAlthough my eyes are open
    FI can hold your gaze
But I am Emnever connected
ENever connected
    AmI am famous for my generosity
    EmThey say I am the kindest
    FBut it is easier to
EmGive than receive love

ECovered in darkness
[Bridge]
AmTurning pages over
Run away to Emnowhere
And it's hard to Ftake control
When your Amenemy's old and afrEmaid of you
You'll discover that the Fmonster you were Amrunning from
Is the Emonster in you
Better to Fhold on to Glove
Better to Fhold on to Glove
Change will come

I got Emcovered in darkness
ECovered in darkness
    AmIt doesn't really Emmatter where it all began

Darren Hayes - Darkness

From "The Tension and The Spark" (2004)

[Verse]

Been spending so much time underground

I guess my eyes adjusted

To the lack of light

I got

Covered in darkness

I have been waiting

Always waiting for something new

Happiness has always ended

In the blink of an eye

There was no one attending

No one attending

[Chorus]

Am Em

It doesn't really matter where it all began

All I know

I got covered in darkness

Covered in darkness

[RIFF]

Am Em F Em E

[Verse]

Ever wonder why I never really truly connect

Although my eyes are open

I can hold your gaze

But I am never connected

Never connected

I am famous for my generosity

They say I am the kindest

But it is easier to

Give than receive love

[Chorus]

Am Em

It doesn't really matter where it all began

All I know

I got covered in darkness

Covered in darkness

[Bridge]

Turning pages over

Run away to nowhere

And it's hard to take control

Am Em

When your enemy's old and afraid of you

F Am

You'll discover that the monster you were running from

Is the monster in you

F G

Better to hold on to love

F G

Better to hold on to love

Change will come

[Chorus]

Am Em

It doesn't really matter where it all began

All I know

I got covered in darkness

Covered in darkness

Am Em

It doesn't really matter where it all began

Cuz all I know

I was lost

No, no

Am Em

It doesn't really matter where it all began no no

All I know

I was lost

I feel lost

N.C.

Lost

N.C.
