Intro: C9-GM7-A9-E-; (2x)
You C9may not see the G6end of it
But luA9ckily she coEmes around
It iC9sn’t what she tG6alks about
It’s jA9ust the way she Eis.
Refrain:
                         EM9  DM7/B  
And she says, “Ooh, darlin’ don’t you know,
     G6(9)    D9/           F#       A9  A  
The darkness comes and the darkness goes.”
                                     EM9  DM7/B  
And she says, “Ooh, babe, why don’t you   let it go?
   G6(9)        D9/          F#                  A9  A  
Happiness ain’t never how you think it should be so.”
I mysC9tified the simG6ple life
I coA9vered up with cEonsciousness
I sC9aw myself and bG6roke it down
‘Till nA9othing more was lEeft.
She C9saw the symptoms rG6ight away
And sA9poke to me in pEoetry
SometC9imes the more you wG6onder why
The wA9orse it seems to gEet.
(Repeat Refrain)

She runs away…     yeah… yeah… yeah…
Interlude: A9-A-;(2x)
And thC9en you know there coGM7mes a time
You nA9eed her more than anEything
You mC9ay believe yours aGM7re the wounds
That oA9nly she can hEeal.
Then eC9verything will tG6urn around
She A9becomes so sEerious
WhC9at she chose to oG6ffer you
Was aA9ll that you could hEave.
(Repeat Refrain & Bridge)
