Tablature by Brandon Sackett


Intro: Play twice


Chords Played:       E minorEm

Notes Played over Chords:  BB


     E minorEm
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
    E minorEm
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
    E minorEm
And it comes in black and it comes in white
    C majorC
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

   E minorEm
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
     E minorEm
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
     E minorEm
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
  C majorC
Decide what to be and go be it


*Build up On C majorC to go into the Chorus*

Chorus:

G+G
There was a dream and one day I could see it
    G+G
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
  G+G
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
    C majorC      G+G      D MajorD       C majorC        D MajorD    G--D--C--Em
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out


*Intro once more, just once*


     E minorEm
There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
      E minorEm
And in the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
    E minorEm
And it flies by day and it flies by night
    C majorC
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

-Chorus-

-Chorus-
     E minorEm
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
    E minorEm
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
     E minorEm
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
    C majorC
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
