INSTRUMENTAL: C minorCm AbAb

VERSE:
C minorCm
Comin' on to the light of day
     AbAb
We’ve got many moons that are deep at play
  C minorCm
So I keep an eye on the shadow's smile
   AbAb
To see what it has to say
F minorFm
You and I both know
AbAb          C minorCm
Everything must go away
C minorCm
Ah, what do you say?
C minorCm
Spinning out, head is on my heart
   AbAb
It's like a bit of light and a touch of dark
 C minorCm
You got a sneak attack from the zodiac
    AbAb
But I see your eyes spark
F minorFm
Keep the breeze and go
AbAb         C minorCm
Blow by blow and go away
 C minorCm
Oh what do you say girl?

CHORUS:
AbAb
Yeah, you don't know my mind
F minorFm
You don't know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design
AbAb            F minorFm
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
C minorCm           Bb majorBb
Dark necessities are part of my design

INSTRUMENTAL: C minorCm AbAb C minorCm AbAb

VERSE:
C minorCm
Stumble down to the parking lot
AbAb
You got no time for the afterthought
C minorCm
You're like ice cream for an astronaut
       AbAb
Well that's me looking for we
F minorFm
Turn the corner and...
AbAb
Find a world at your command
C minorCm
Layin’ the hand, girl

CHORUS:
AbAb
Yeah, you don't know my mind
F minorFm
You don't know my kind

BRIDGE:
Eb MajorEb
Do you want this love of mine?
C#C#
The darkness helps to sort the shine
C minorCm                Eb MajorEb
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Eb MajorEb
Do you want it overtime?
   C#C#
The darkness helps to sort the shine
C minorCm               Eb MajorEb
Do you want it, do you want it now?

VERSE:
C minorCm
Make it work like a paperback
AbAb
With the track record of a maniac
C minorCm
So I'm moving in and we unpack
     AbAb
It's the same as yesterday
F minorFm
Any way we roll
AbAb         C minorCm
Everything must go away
C minorCm
Ah, what do you say girl?
