[Intro] Bm D F#m E [Verse 1]
                         Bm     D     F#m   E
You're watching your favorite show

          Bm   D     F#m    E
When the TV died

             Bm   D            F#m     E          Bm  D   F#m    E
The biggest power-cut in your neighbourhood since 1989

Bm    D            F#m       E
A blackout in the center of town

    Bm          D                 F#m       E
But down in the suburbs where it first went out

               Bm      D          F#m      E
They've been asking, asking the question
[Chorus 1]
A                     Amaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?

D                     Dmaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?

F#m               E         D
I'm afraid of the darkness too
[Verse 2]
       Bm    D    F#m   E
In the hospital

       Bm    D       F#m   E
On the critical ward

           Bm      D
Too long a breath between

    F#m           E           Bm      D      F#m    E
The break and the backup of a life support

Bm     D                  F#m         E
One system failure and it stopped her heart

Bm    D                     F#m    E
One power vacuum and we're coming apart

               Bm      D           F#m    E
We should be asking, asking the question
[Chorus 2]
A                     Amaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?

D                     Dmaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?

F#m               E        D
I'm afraid of the darkness too

A                       Amaj7
We're all caught in the blackout

D          Dmaj7             F#m
Trying to feel our way out

             E
Wait for the morning

                     D
I'll be waiting for you
[Post-Chorus]
Bm
Meet me in the middle

D
Meet me in the middle

F#m                          E
Bring a burning candle with you

Bm
Meet me in the middle

D
Meet me in the middle

F#m                          E
I will be there waiting for you
[Bridge]
            Bm      D      F#m     E
I was in my comfort zone

              Bm      D     F#m    E
I was singing selfish songs

          Bm     D               F#m       E               Bm      D     F#m   E
I've been taking for granted everyone understood how easy trouble comes

          Bm    D           F#m   E
But it's not enough anymore

               Bm     D        F#m        E          Bm
We can't just turn around and close the door on the world

           D        F#m       E
It's asking uneasy questions

              Bm      D        F#m (BREAK)
We should be asking ourselves uneasy questions
[Chorus 2]
A                     Amaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?

D                     Dmaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?

F#m               E        D
I'm afraid of the darkness too

A                       Amaj7
We're all caught in the blackout

D          Dmaj7             F#m
Trying to feel our way out

             E
Wait for the morning

                     D
I'll be waiting for you
[Outro]

I will be there waiting for you
