-In The Dark-
-Josh Ritter-
-------------
[Refrain]
GDoo doo doo doo doo doo Am7doo doo x4
[Verse 1]
We Gstarted looking for you
Am7In the darker caves
GWe had a lot of love
We Amthought would light the way
GWe saw the wrecks of buildings
EmAnd ships that sank in starlight
GWe saw the ghosts of angels
EmThat spoke of falls from tremendous Cheights
[Chorus]
Don't you leave us in the Am7dark...
Don't you leave us in the Gdark...
Don't you leave us in the Am7dark...
Don't you leave us in the Gdark...
[Verse 2]
GWe saw your old flames
And Am7some were burning yet
GIt made us smile to see just how well
Am7Tended each was kept
GBut other fires were burning too
EmAnd I saw the battlefields
GThe dying Light Brigade
EmStretched out upon the wheel
[Chorus]
Don't you leave us in the Am7dark...
Don't you leave us in the Gdark...
Don't you leave us in the Am7dark...
Don't you leave us in the Gdark...
[Refrain]
GDoo doo doo doo doo doo Am7doo doo x4
[Verse 3]
GEvery heart is much the same
We Am7tell ourselves down here
The Gsame chambers fed by veins
The same Am7maze of love and fear
GWe thought you were a saint
But the Emhalo was an eye
GIt's hard to see how there could be
So much Emdark inside the light
[Chorus]
Don't you leave us in the Am7dark...
Don't you leave us in the Gdark...
Don't you leave us in the Am7dark...
Don't you leave us in the Gdark...
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Refrain
