Verse 1:
D MajorD
Here I am, alone again
N.C.
Can't get out of this hole I'm in
N.C.
It's like the walls are closin' in
N.C.
You can't help me, no one can
D MajorD
I can feel these curtains closin'
N.C.
I go to open 'em
N.C.
But something pulls 'em closed again
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
N.C.
Feels like I'm loathing in Las Vegas
N.C.
Haven't got the vaguest why I'm so lost
E minorEm
But I'd make you this small wager
N.C.
If I bet you I'll be in tomorrow's paper
N.C.
Who would the odds favor?
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
N.C.
I'm so much like my father, you would think that I knew him
N.C.
I keep pacin' this room, Valium, then chase it with booze
E minorEm
One little taste, it'll do
N.C.
Maybe I'll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
N.C.
Fuck the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger
N.C.
If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka
E minorEm
Round after round after round, I'm gettin' loaded (Haha)
N.C.
That's a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)

Verse 2:
D MajorD
Now I'm starin' at the room service menu off a Benzo
N.C.
I can hear the music continue to crescendo
E minorEm
I can see the whole fuckin' venue from my window
N.C.
That's when you know you're schizo (Hello darkness, my old friend)
D MajorD
'Cause I keep peekin' out the curtain from the hotel
N.C.
The music is so loud
N.C.
But it's almost as though I don't hear no sound
E minorEm
I should get ready for the show now
N.C.
Wait, is this the whole crowd? I thought this shit was sold out
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
D MajorD
But it's only the opening act, it's early, don't overreact
N.C.
Then something told me relax
N.C.
And just hope for the show to be packed
E minorEm
Don't wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max
N.C.
'Cause that'd be totally wack
D MajorD
You can't murder a show nobody's at (Hello darkness, my old friend)
N.C.
But what if nobody shows? Panic mode
N.C.
'Bout to snap and go motherfuckin' wacko at any second
E minorEm
'Bout to cancel the show just as fans below rush the entrance
N.C.
Plan is a go to wreck shit, cameras in all directions (Hello darkness, my old friend)
D MajorD
The press is 'bout to go ape shit bananas on all the networks
N.C.
Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers
E minorEm
I'm armed to the teeth, another Valium, fall off the bed
N.C.
Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser
N.C. D MajorD
Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope
N.C.
I'm blackin' out, I'm all out of meds
N.C.
With them benzodiazepines gone
E minorEm
Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor
N.C.
Fuck the media, I'm goin' all out, this is war
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
Chorus:
N.C.
And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (Yeah)

I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore

(Hello darkness, my old friend)
Verse 3:
D MajorD
People start to show up, time to start the show up
N.C.
It's 10:05 PM and the curtain starts to go up
E minorEm
And I'm already sweatin', but I'm locked and loaded
N.C.
For rapid fire spittin' for all the concert-goers
D MajorD
Scopes for sniper vision, surprise from out of nowhere
N.C.
As I slide the clip in from inside the hotel
E minorEm
Leanin' out the window, going Keyser Söze
N.C.
Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner
C majorC G+G
With no prior convictions, so loss, the sky's the limit
N.C.
So my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier
C majorC
Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences
N.C.
Some of them John Travolta, staying alive by inches
G+G
Cops are knockin', oh fuck, thought I blocked the entrance
N.C.
Guess show time is over
E minorEm
No suicide note, just a note for target distance
N.C.
But if you'd like to know the reason why I did this
D MajorD
You'll never find a motive, truth is I have no idea
N.C.
I am just as stumped, no signs of mental illness
E minorEm
Just tryin' to show ya the reason why we're so fucked
N.C.
'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
Chorus:
N.C.
And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (Yeah)
E minorEm
I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
N.C.
I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
D MajorD
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
Outro:
Yeah, we do have some breaking news from the Associated Press right now
E minorEm
Just gonna bring that up because we are hearing—
We have told you that the shooter is dead
D MajorD
And we have just learned that police are saying that the Las Vegas shooter killed himself
E minorEm
That is the bartender there at Mandalay Bay and I believe we're going to hear more from her
N.C.
Yeah, we just wanted to share that with you
N.C.
You can see behind me here, this is what he looks like
D MajorD
Now we did just tell you that police just earlier...
E minorEm
Metro was telling us that he killed himself inside the hotel room
