[E] [A] [E]
[A] [E]
Shadows are falling and I've been here all day.
It's too hot to sleep and [A] time is running [E] away.
[B] Feel like my [A] soul has [E] turned into steel.
I've [C#m] still got the [B] scars that the [A] sun can [E] heal.
[B] There's not [A] even room enough [G#m] to [E] be anywhere.
[C#m]
It's not [B] dark yet [A] but [E] it's getting there.
And my sensitive malady [A] has gone down [E] the drain.
Behind every beautiful thing [A] there's been some [E] kind of pain.
[B] She wrote me a [A] letter and she [G#m] wrote it so [E] kind.
[C#m] She put [B] down and rotten what [A] was [E] in her mind.
[B] I just don't see why I should even [E] care.
[C#m]
It's not [B] dark yet [A] but it's getting [E] there.
And I've been to London and [A] I've been to [E] Gay Mary.
I followed the river [A] and I got to [E] the sea.
[B] I've been down on [B] the bottom of [G#m] a world full of [E] lies.
[C#m] I ain't looking [B] for nothing [A]
[E] in anyone's eyes.
[B] Sometimes my burden [G#m] gets more than I can [E] bear.
[C#m]
It's not [B] dark yet [A] but it's getting [E] there.

I was born here and I'll die here [A] against [E] my will.
I know it looks like I'm moving [A] but I'm [E] standing still.
[B] Every nerve in my body is so vacant and [E] numb.
I [C#m] can't even [E] remember what it [B] was I came here [A] to get [E] away from.
[B] Don't even hear the murmur [E] of a breath.
[C#m] [B] It's not dark yet [A] but [E] it's getting there.
