Suddenly I find

A D G D

I've got darkness on my mind

And it's never what I thought

Saying I'm happy, then I'm not

No, I've got darkness on my mind

[Verse 2]

A D G D

Leaning out the frame

A D G D

When it's particulate and gray

A Bm G D

I'm perpendicular to my whole being

A Bm G D

When I lean a certain way

A D G D

Saying I'm happy when I'm not

A D G D

Finding roaches in the pot

Bm D G D

I've got darkness on my mind

[Chorus]

A Bm G

Some people spend their whole lives lookin'

A Bm G

For someone who could understand

A Bm G

While meanwhile the lilac's blooming

A Bm G

Now sometimes on the driest lands

A Bm G

(When I)I know it's been a long time comin'

A Bm G

I'm angry and I know that's weak

A Bm G

I'm longing out that open window

A Bm G

For whatever it is I see

I'm just looking at it honestly
