E7/9 A major 6A6 E7/9 A major 6A6 A augmentedA A9A9
In the dark, it's just you and I;

Not a sound, there's not one sigh,
A augmentedA C#m7-5 CdimCdim CdimCdim E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m F7F7 E7E7
Just the beat of my poor heart in the dark.
E7/9 A major 6A6 E7/9 A major 6A6 A augmentedA A9A9
In the dark, in the dark, I get such a thrill
A7/9 D9D9 D6D6 DmDm Dm7Dm7 Dm6Dm6
When he presses his fingertips upon my lips,
A augmentedA C#m7-5 CdimCdim Cdim E MajorE A augmentedA D9D9 A augmentedA A7A7
And he begs me to please keep still in the dark.

But soon, this dance will be endin'

And you're gonna be missed

In the dark . . . in the dark.
