darkness up
D

fine print they
D
tell me what’s
C
wrong and what’s
Em
right
And it
G
comes in
D
black and it
C
comes in
Em
white
And I’m
Em
frightened by
D
those who don’t
C
see it

When
G
nothing is
D
owed or
C
deserved or
Em
expected
And your
G
life doesn’t
D
change by the

man that’s
Em
elected
If you’re
G
loved by
D
someone, you’re
C
never
Em
rejected
Dec
Em
ide what to
D
be and go
C
be it

C
day I could
G

Like a

bird in a
G
cage I broke
D
in and dem
C
anded that
D
somebody
G
free it
And
C
there was a
G
kid with a
C
head full of
G
doubt
So I’ll
C
scream ’til I
G
die and the
D
last of those
C
bad thoughts are
D
finally out
