Shadows are falling,
[G] you [C] have me in here all day
It's too hot to sleep, [G] time is [C]
running away
[G] Feels like my soul [C] has [G] turned into [C] steel
[G] [Am] I still got [G] the scars that [F] the [C] sun didn't heal
[G] There's not even room enough [C] to be [A] anywhere
[G] [Am] It's not [G] dark yet, [C] but it's getting there
My sense of humanity
[F] has [C] gone down the drain
And every beautiful face I [F] find [C] some kind of pain
She
[G] wrote me a [C] letter, she wrote [G] it so [C] kind
She [G] [Am] put down [G] in writing what was [C] on her mind
But
[G] I don't see why, [C]
why I [D] should even [C] care
It's [G] [Am] not [A] dark yet, [C] but it's getting there
I've been to London,
[D] I've been to Gay [C] Perry
I followed the river, [F] [C] got down to the sea
I've
[G] been down [F] on the bottom [C] of this world [D] full of [C] lies
[Bm] [Am] Ain't looking for nothing [G] [C] in [F] [C]
anyone's eyes
[G]
[D] Sometimes [G] my [C] burdens, they are so hard to bear
[G] [Am] It's not [G] dark [C] yet, [F] but [C] it's getting there

morning I'll die here
[G] [C] against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm only standing still
[G] [C]
[G] Never knew [F] that my body [Em] was so [D] naked and [C] numb
I [Bm] [Am] don't even remember [G] what it was I came [F] here to [C] get away from
[G] I don't even [F] hear [C] the murmur [D] of the [C] prayer
It's [Bm] [Am] not [G] dark yet, [F] but it's getting [C] there
