------------- [Refrain]
G                       Am7 
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo  x4
[Verse 1]
   G
We started looking for you 

Am7
In the darker caves 

G
We had a lot of love 

   Am
We thought would light the way 

G                                            
We saw the wrecks of buildings 

Em     
And ships that sank in starlight 

G                       
We saw the ghosts of angels 

Em                                  C        
That spoke of falls from tremendous heights
[Chorus]
                          Am7
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          G
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          Am7
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          G
Don't you leave us in the dark... 
[Verse 2]
G
We saw your old flames 

    Am7
And some were burning yet 

G
It made us smile to see just how well

Am7
Tended each was kept 

G
But other fires were burning too 

Em     
And I saw the battlefields         

G
The dying Light Brigade 

Em     
Stretched out upon the wheel
[Chorus]
                          Am7
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          G
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          Am7
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          G
Don't you leave us in the dark... 
[Refrain]
G                       Am7 
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo x4
[Verse 3]
G
Every heart is much the same 

   Am7
We tell ourselves down here 

    G
The same chambers fed by veins 

         Am7
The same maze of love and fear 

G
We thought you were a saint 

        Em     
But the halo was an eye 

G
It's hard to see how there could be 

        Em     
So much dark inside the light
[Chorus]
                          Am7
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          G
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          Am7
Don't you leave us in the dark... 

                          G
Don't you leave us in the dark...
