Key: Am Intro: Am Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Verse: Am Dm Em Am I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak Am Dm Em Am Sometimes I'd hear it all, if my neighbours must speak Am Dm Em Am But this recent apartment and bedroom I got Am Dm Em Am Started out seeming decent, more boring than not Am Dm Em Am For two or three years nothing happened at all Am Dm Em Am There was an old man next door that I would see in the hall Am Dm Em Am He shuffled politely, wears an old suit Am Dm Em Am You know, a standard old geezer; a quiet old coot Am Dm Em Am He used to seem normal but then all at once Am Dm Em Am He started these nocturnal groanings and grunts Am Dm Em Am It's hard to get used to, it gives me the creeps Am Dm Em Am Pretty much every night now he screams when he sleeps

Chorus: Am Dm Em Am Dark night of our souls, Am Dm Em Am Dark night of our hearts Am Dm Em Am Dropping down the bottomless hole Am Dm I just need to get some sleep, Em Am I don't know when I might begin, Am Dm But I don't want another minute Em Am In this same old story purgatory N.C. Stop the torture old man and please N.C. Am Dm Em Am Don't be myself from the future! Verse: Am Dm Em Am If it was a dog bark or a screaming infant Am Dm Em Am I'd probably be fine, back asleep in an instant Am Dm Em Am But picture me lying there alone in my bed Am Dm Em Am When this old man just lets out these shrieks near my head Am Dm Em Am And now every night at like three in A.M. Am Dm Em Am I get woken up by this miserable mayhem Am Dm Em Am Who's being dismembered; what the hell is wrong? Am Dm Em Am I'm scared that he'll send me insane before long Am Dm Em Am And it makes me afraid, just to be me like I am Am Dm Em Am 'cause it could be my fatal moments screaming old man Am Dm Em Am Tell me what did he do in his youth for this torture? Am Dm Em Am And what if I'm him and it's true that he's me in the future ! Chorus: Am Dm Em Am Dark night of our souls, Am Dm Em Am Dark night of our hearts Am Dm Em Am Dropping down the bottomless hole Am Dm I just need to get some sleep, Em Am I don't know when I might begin, Am Dm But I don't want another minute Em Am In this same old story purgatory N.C. Stop the torture old man and please N.C. Am Dm Em Am Don't be myself from the future! Verse: Am Dm Em Am I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak Am Dm Em Am Sometimes I'd hear it all, if my neighbours must speak Am Dm Em Am But this recent apartment and bedroom I got Am Dm Em Am Started out seeming decent, more boring than not Am Dm Em Am But now it's like trying to sleep in a Guantanamo cell block Am Dm Em Am Or a hospital hell hole for some horrible shell-shock Am Dm Em Am Or a Medieval dungeon with sadistic conditions Am Dm Em Am Where some pitiful someone is getting whipped while you listen Am Dm Em Dm And you know in the dark, when your mind is just spinning Am Dm Em Dm And you get visions of weird things with no ends or beginnings? Am Dm Em Am I just thought for a bit and then he's screaming some more Am Dm Em Am And I'm scared that he's me and I'm the him from before Am Dm Em Am I guess that some paranoid fantasy sci-fi scenarios Am Dm Em Am May seem dumb in the daylight but for now, oh there he goes: Chorus: Am Dm Em Am Dark night of our souls, Am Dm Em Am Dark night of our hearts Am Dm Em Am Dropping down the bottomless hole Am Dm I just need to get some sleep, Em Am I don't know when I might begin, Am Dm But I don't want another minute Em Am In this same old story purgatory N.C. Stop the torture old man and please N.C. Am Dm Em Am Don't be myself from the future! Outro: N.C. "Well you know Jeffrey, it's true what you say, I once was like you then I turned out this way. I lived my own life complaining love wasn't there, It was never enough to sacrifice for or care And I once had a cat and one or two pals And I would go and hang out sort of like that way you do now But now all I can do is just scream in the darkness The pain inside ninety years empty and heartless If you grow seeking freedom you're a rose brief in bloom So you know it's already leading you down the road to this room Thought I'd get glory from war and in the dark in a trench Then I spent forty years more just in a park on a bench Am Dm Em Am And it's all existentially hopeless eventually Am Dm Em Am You're just dementedly shrieking, like me like you were meant to be! Am I am sent out not as a warning, but as an acceptance Am So accept it! Am It is already written! Am It is already happening! Am You are already here!" Am Ahhhhhh
