Tuning: E A D G B E

INTRO: D A D A E E (x3)

^AWell it cuts just like as ^Eknife Ta^Dkes away your love of l^Aife ^APuts out your fire and l^Eeaves you in the a^Dshes ^D ^AAnd you lay there in the ^Ehole Wha^Dt you loved now leaves you ^Acold ^AIt’s hard to get the str^Eength to face the mor^Dning ^D

^F#Some days you r^Deally feel like hi^Ading ^E ^F#Some days you ^Dswear you’ll never ^Ago out anymore^E

CHORUS:

And I’^Dm not going ^Aback I’m no^Dt going b^Aack to my dark^E places ^E I’m no^Dt going b^Aack I’m no^Dt going b^Aack to my dark^E places ^E

VERSE 2: (same chords as first) Well the days drag slowly by All you want to do is cry Nothing makes sense nothing has a reason And the world is not the same And you’re the one to blame Before too long you feel just like a prisoner Some days you really feel like screaming Some days you swear you’ll never smile anymore REPEAT CHORUS: BREAK:

It’s ^Gsomething th^Dey can’t see y^Get it seems so ^Dreal to me Can’t^G explain jus^Dt how I feel w^Ahen what I feel^A is no emotion It’s^G not a traged^Dy, yet th^Gat’s how it see^Dms to me I wi^Gsh that you c^Dould see or^A even for one minute ^Abe me

REPEAT INTRO x2 VERSE 3 (same chords as first) Well, I got there in the end With the help of many friends Some who helped by simply just believing And the days look brighter now Yet I know someday, somehow I could end up back there in an instant Some days I really feel like laughing Some days I realize I must stay on my guard REPEAT CHORUS:

Stiff Little Fingers - My dark places
