Afraid Of The Dark chords by Emma Hamel

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

Bm                     A
Now the sky is growing dim
                    G
Muted colors fading in
                            Gb
Now there’s nothing but the silence


Bm                      A
And the moon is shining bright
                                G
on the whole world in black and white
                        Gb
wind is raging but it’s quiet

Pre-Chorus:

B           Em
Everybody’s headed home
B               Gb
to turn out the lights
Abm           Gb               E
And I used to be afraid of the dark
               Em
I’m not afraid of the dark


Chorus:

B               Eb           E
Now my eyes are open I can’t close them
   Em
or escape
B                Eb            E
But it’s not the shadows in my room
             Em
That keep me awake
Abm              B                 E
I used to wonder what was under my bed
Dbm                  Abm
But it was all in my head
            B                     E
And now the world is smaller than before
               Em
I’m not afraid anymore


Verse 2:

Bm                            A
Stars are shining through the glass
                        G
Distant flickers of the past
                    Gb
Disappearing in the twilight


Bm                              A
Lonesome streetlights frame the view
                        G
Carving shadows far but few
                     Gb
In the empty cold of midnight


Pre-Chorus:

B           Em
Everybody’s safe and sound
B                       Gb
They'll dream the night away
Abm           Gb               E
And I used to be afraid of the dark
               Em
I’m not afraid of the dark


Chorus:

B               Eb           E
Now my eyes are open I can’t close them
   Em
or escape
B                Eb            E
But it’s not the shadows in my room
             Em
That keep me awake
Abm              B                 E
I used to wonder what was under my bed
Dbm                  Abm
But it was all in my head
            B                     E
And now the world is smaller than before
               Em
I’m not afraid anymore


Bridge:

Abm
Now I miss those nights
               E
Staring at the sky

Questions filled my mind
                     Abm
There were worlds to find


Abm
Behind the closet door
                  E
There was so much more

There was so much more
    Gb     G
But not anymore
       A
No not anymore


Chorus:

B               Eb           E
Now my eyes are open I can’t close them
   Em
or escape
B                Eb            E
But it’s not the shadows in my room
             Em
That keep me awake
Abm              B                 E
I used to wonder what was under my bed
Dbm                  Abm
But it was all in my head
            B                     E
And now the world is smaller than before
               Em      B
I’m not afraid anymore
