E7/9    A6  E7/9    A6   A       A9
In the dark,   it's just you and I;

A7/9    D9   D6        Dm7      Dm6
Not a sound,   there's not one sigh,

A        C#m7-5  Cdim  Cdim  E            A    F#m    F7   E7
Just the beat of    my     poor heart in the dark.

E7/9    A6          E7/9     A6  A      A9
In the dark, in the dark, I get such a thrill

A7/9     D9          D6        Dm Dm7 Dm6
When he presses his fingertips upon  my  lips,

A      C#m7-5     Cdim Cdim   E           A    D9     A   A7
And he begs me to please   keep still in the dark.

Bridge

D9   D9 alt      Dm           Dm7     A
But soon,       this dance will be endin'

F   Bb9  A          A7
And you're gonna be missed

D9   D9 alt Dm         Dm7
Gee,        I'm not pretendin'

A         F#m   F    Bb9  E7
'Cause I swear it's fun, fun to be kissed.



E7/9    A6   E7/9 A6  A        A9
In the dark,      now we will find

A7/9      D9  D6      Dm7     Dm6
What the rest    have left behind;

A    AM7       F#7                 D9   F   E7
Just let them dance -- we're gonna find ro-mance,

E       A   F#m   F  E7   A
In the dark . . . in the dark.
