The Darkness chords by John Michael Howell

Verse 1:
          F
Does the darkness ever get brighter?
        Cm
'Cause I'm gettin' tired of all
                C
of the shadows around me
                        Cm      Cdim Gmdim
Wish they'd forget all about me
          F
Does the heartache ever heal faster?
        Cm
'Cause mine's torn and fractured
                                  C
And time's just a plaster that's aging
                               Cm    Cdim
I feel all its walls slowly breaking

Chorus:
     F     Fm
But you, you,
                    C
you're the angel I needed
                               F
That sent all my demons runnin',
      Fsus4
runnin'
    F      Fm
But you, you,
                        C
you're the hope that I needed
                                   F
When all that I needed was somethin'
         Fsus4
Was someonе
                         F
to tell me that therе's light out here

Oh, the world looks so bitter and broken
     Fm
When my eyes are opened
                                   C
So I'll keep them closed when the light falls

Sing in my head 'til the night falls (Mm)

And as you gaze into the darkness

I promise my heart is

lookin' back at you
                       C
(I’m Looking Back At You)
