[Verse 2]

^GAnd the blackest of ^Cflags is un^Gfurled ^DIn all this ^Cabsence of ^Glight ^D ^GIt's not the ^Cend of the ^Gworld good people ^DMerely the ^Cmiddle of the ^Gnight

^GInto a ball of ^Cfear you are ^Gcurled ^DAnd you're holding on ^Cwith all of your ^Gmight ^D ^GBut it's not the ^Cend of the ^Gworld little sister ^DIt's just the ^Cmiddle of the ^Gnight
