GThe morning that you left me was just another day
How Ccould I see the sorrow that had Gfound me
Then you left and told me that I was in your way
And I A7turned and ran as heaven fell D7around me
GI stumbled through the darkness my footsteps were unsure
I Clive within a world that had no Gsunshine
When you left me darling my world came to an end
And there was darkness on the D7face of the Gearth
The Cstars fell out of heaven and the Gmoon could not be found
The sun was in a million pieces A7scattered all aD7round
Why Gdid you ever leave me you knew how it would hurt
And now there's darkness on the D7face of the Gearth
[Repeat #3]
And now there's darkness on the D7face of the Gearth

The morning that you left me was just another day

How could I see the sorrow that had found me

Then you left and told me that I was in your way

And I turned and ran as heaven fell around me

I stumbled through the darkness my footsteps were unsure

I live within a world that had no sunshine

When you left me darling my world came to an end

And there was darkness on the face of the earth

C G

The stars fell out of heaven and the moon could not be found

The sun was in a million pieces scattered all around

Why did you ever leave me you knew how it would hurt

D7 G

And now there's darkness on the face of the earth

[Repeat #3]

And now there's darkness on the face of the earth
