Starset – Dark Things (Guitar)

    C
You came in on a whisper drip by drip,

D   Em                                      Esus4  Em
And leaked in till my heart was filled with this,

D   C
The middle of your ocean here I sit,

D     Em
In my emptiness,

          Esus4
In my own wickedness.

    D        Em
And it’s all counterfeit,

D          C             Em
You are my all I am your surrogate,

B7       Am           N.C.
You only kill for the thrill of it.

Em
Mayday we’ve been sinkin here slowly,

D                          C
Turning into something unholy,

C
Running away from the same sins,

C
This is a place heaven’s not been,

Em
Eyes shut wide and going in boldly,

D                         C
You and I will never be holy,

C
Don’t be surprised what the night brings,

C                   Am
When you search the dark you get dark things, (dark things, dark things).

     C
I’ve worshiped at your alter faithfully,

     Em
I’ve summoned every demon inside me,

    C
But now they won’t go back from whence they came,

     D  Em
Am I an idiot?

              Em
I’m still not sick of this.

         D    Em
And just like sycophants,

D                   C              Em
We hate the way the numb feels intimate,

B7           Am      N.C.
You know you love it,  (hypocrite).

Em
Mayday we’ve been sinkin here slowly,

D                          C
Turning into something unholy,

C
Running away from the same sins,

C
This is a place heaven’s not been,

Em
Eyes shut wide and going in boldly,

D                         C
You and I will never be holy,

C
Don’t be surprised what the night brings,

C                   Am
When you search the dark you get dark things.

        G
All the monsters in your dreams,

         G           G
(Will be me, will be me),

        Em
Look at all the broken things,

       Em        Em
(I can be, I can be),

       D
Let me show you every sting,

        D                D
Tie you up by your heart strings,

       C
Let me take you,

       D
Till I break you,

                      Em
And bring you to your knees.

Em
Mayday we’ve been sinkin here slowly,

D                          C

Running away from the same sins,

Eyes shut wide and going in boldly,

D                         C
You and I will never be holy,

Don’t be surprised what the night brings,

B7                  Am
When you search the dark you get dark things.

Em                      Em
You and I will never be holy,

Cmaj7                             C
Don’t be surprised what the night brings,

Em                  Am                        Em
When you search the dark you get dark things.
