E MajorE
You're watching your favorite show

When the TV died
      F# minorF#m        G# minorG#m         E MajorE
The biggest power-cut in your neighbourhood since 1989
E MajorE         F# minorF#m
A augmentedA blackout in the center of town
G# minorG#m               E MajorE
But down in the suburbs where it first went out
       F# minorF#m        G# minorG#m
They've been asking, asking the question

Chorus 1:
BB
Are you afraid of the darkness?
E MajorE
Are you afraid of the darkness?
G# minorG#m            E MajorE
I'm afraid of the darkness too


Verse 2:
E MajorE
In the hospital
E MajorE
On the critical ward
      G# minorG#m
Too long a breath between
  G# minorG#m            E MajorE
The break and the backup of a life support
E MajorE            F# minorF#m
One system failure and it stopped her heart
G# minorG#m            E MajorE
One power vacuum and we're coming apart
       F# minorF#m        G# minorG#m
We should be asking, asking the question


Chorus 2:
BB
Are you afraid of the darkness?
E MajorE
Are you afraid of the darkness?
G+G #m            E MajorE
I'm afraid of the darkness too
BB            E MajorE
We're all caught in the blackout
F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m      E MajorE
Trying to feel our way out
        G# minorG#m
Wait for the morning
          E MajorE
I'll be waiting for you

Post-Chorus:
C# minorC#m
Meet me in the middle
E MajorE
Meet me in the middle
G# minorG#m             F#F#
Bring a burning candle with you
C# minorC#m
Meet me in the middle
E MajorE
Meet me in the middle
G# minorG#m             F#F#
I will be there waiting for you


Bridge:
      E MajorE
I was in my comfort zone
       E MajorE
I was singing selfish songs
     F# minorF#m           G# minorG#m           E MajorE
I've been taking for granted everyone understood how easy trouble comes
     E MajorE         m
But it's not enough anymore
       G# minorG#m                  E MajorE
We can't just turn around and close the door on the world
          F# minorF#m
It's asking uneasy questions
       G# minorG#m
We should be asking ourselves uneasy questions


Chorus 2:
BB
Are you afraid of the darkness?
E MajorE
Are you afraid of the darkness?
G# minorG#m            E MajorE
I'm afraid of the darkness too
BB            E MajorE
We're all caught in the blackout
F# minorF#m      G# minorG#m     E MajorE
Trying to feel our way out
         G# minorG#m
Wait for the morning
          E MajorE
I'll be waiting for you
