Peter Gabriel – Darkness (Guitar)

    E5
I'm scared of swimming in the sea

D#5
Dark shapes moving under me

E5                            D#5
Every fear I swallow makes me small

  E5
Inconsequential things occur

 D#5
Alarms are triggered memories stir

E            F#            G#m
It's not the way it has to be

     E5/B
I'm afraid of what I do not know

  D#5/A#
I hate being undermined

     E5/B
I'm afraid I can be devil man

        D#5/A#
And I'm scared to be divine

      E5/B
Don't mess with me my fuse is short

  D#5/A#
Beneath this skin these fragments caught

E        F#        G#m
When I allow it to be

E             F#        G#m
There's no control over me

E   F#    G#m
I have my fears

E        F#          G#m
But they do not have me

C#m                 B                                F#
Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods

C#m          B                 F#
The deeper I go, the darker it gets

C#m                B
I peer through the window

G#m            F#
Knock at the door

        E
And the monster I was so afraid of

D#aug                 D#    D# D#sus4
Lies curled up on the floor

Cm                  D#aug                  D#   D# D#sus4
Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

  Cm          B      F#
I cry until I laugh

    E5/B
I'm afraid of being mothered

        D#5/A#
With my balls shut in the pen

     E5/B
I'm afraid of loving women

         D#5/A#
And I'm scared of loving men

E5/B
Flashbacks coming in every night

      D#5/A#
Don't tell me everything's alright

E        F#        G#m
When I allow it to be

      E      F#        G#m
It has no control over me

E  F#     G#m
I own my fear

E     F#          G#m
So it doesn't own me

C#m                 B                                F#
Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods

C#m          B                 F#
The deeper I go, the darker it gets

C#m                B
I peer through the window

G#m            F#
Knock at the door

        E
And the monster I was so afraid of

D#aug                 D#    D# D#sus4
Lies curled up on the floor

Cm                  D#aug                  D#   D# D#sus4
Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

  Cm          B      F#
I cry until I laugh
