^DIn the dark you^A can sometimes hear your own h^Emeartbeat Or the heart of the one next to you^{D A Em D}And the house settles d^Aown after holding itself^Em up all day Shoulders slu^Dmp, gi^Aves a big s^Emigh You hear no one’s foot f^Dall ^Ain the h^Emall ^DThat drip in the kitchen s^Aink keeps marking t^Emime ^DJune bug on the window ^Ascreen can't get in, b^Emut keeps on trying ^DOne way or anoth^Aer we're all in the d^Emark

^AFireflies and sparks and l^Gightning and stars ^ACampfires, the moon, he^Gadlights on cars A G (hold) The Northern lights, the Milky Way

^DThe Earth turns its b^Aack on the ^Emsun And the stars come out a^Dnd the pla^Anets start to ^Emrun, around ^DThey call that 'd^Aay is done^{Em D}But really it's j^Aust getting start^Emed ^DSome folks take c^Aomfort in th^Emat

H^Aow dark is it? I^Gt's too dark for goblins ^AHow dark is it? I^Gt's so dark you can smell the moon ^AHow dark is it? I^Gt's so dark the wind gets lost ^AHow dark is it? S^Go dark the sky's on fire A G (hold) How dark is it? It’s so dark you can see Fort Worth from here
