Am             G                            Am
Darkness darkness be my pillow
                 G                            Am
Take my head and let me sleep
           D                             Am
In the coolness of your shadow
            G                        Am
In the silence of your deep

Am             G                               Am
Darkness darkness hide the yearning
            G                                Am
for the things that can not be
                D                                  Am
keep my mind from constant turning
                      G                           Am
towards the things I can not see
G                           Am
things I can not see    (x3)


Am             G                                Am
Darkness darkness long and lonesome
                 G                                Am
ease the day that brings me pain
            D                  Am
I have fell into the sadness
           G                 Am
I hide to trick the fear


Am              G                           Am
Darkness darkness be my blanket
                  G                              Am
cover me with your endless night
                   D                                    Am
take away take away the pain of knowing
            G                                   Am
fill the emptiness so bright now         (x3)
