Verse 1:
Am9Am9         Fmaj7Fmaj7
Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered,
Dm7Dm7          Am9Am9
Keep to yourself, dear, do not tell a soul.
Am9Am9         Fmaj7Fmaj7
You know it's wrong, what they've been sayin'
  Dm7Dm7           Am9Am9
and you knew all along that I would have to go
    FF      G/F  FF       G/F
find a place where light shines on my reflection,
  A minorAm     G/AG/A  A minorAm      G/AG/A
a place where I can stand up on my own,
   FF              Cadd2Cadd2
not down on my knees. Until then, please

Chorus:
        FF   C majorC
meet me in the dark, meet me in the shadows
         FF     C majorC
past the old graveyard down Eisenhower Road.
          FF            C majorC
Meet me where the storms blow out on their own, dear.
        A minorAm   FF       C majorC
Meet me in the dark, never let me go.

Verse 2:
Am9Am9         Fmaj7Fmaj7
I know everyone has their unspoken fear,
  Dm7Dm7            Am9Am9
it eats away their senses and their humanity.
   Am9Am9             Fmaj7Fmaj7
They carry all their secrets every night down to the river
     Dm7Dm7               Am9Am9
and they try so hard to drown them, they won't do that to me,
      FF    G/F  FF       G/F
'Cause I'm working hard, saving all my money
    A minorAm      G/AG/A       A minorAm        G/AG/A
and the tips in this jar will buy a brand new set of wings
  FF
for my Mercury. Until then, please

Chorus:
        FF   C majorC
meet me in the dark, meet me in the shadows
         FF     C majorC
past the old graveyard down Eisenhower Road.
          FF            C majorC
Meet me where the storms blow out on their own, dear.
        A minorAm   FF       C majorC
Meet me in the dark, never let me go.

Bridge:
Dm7Dm7           C/EC/E
I could never hide this little light of mine.
   Bb majorBb               A minorAm
If God made a mistake, then I should die before I wake.
Dm7Dm7          C/EC/E
Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide,
Bb majorBb
swallowing my pride.
Am9Am9         FF
Keep your eyes down, say that you don't know me,
  Dm7Dm7            Am7Am7
For I could not survive If they took you away.
