Not Dark Yet

E


[Verse 1]

E                   A            
Shadows are falling and I've been
          E
 here all day
                          A      
It's too hot to sleep and time is 
         E
running away
B            B/A      G#m        
Feel like my soul has turned into 
 E
steel
C#m                 B             
I've still got the scars that the 
 A          E
sun didn't heal
B                B/A            
There's not even room enough to 
G#m      E
be anywhere


[Refrain]

C#m           B         A       
It's not dark yet, but it's 
    E
getting there


[Verse 2]

E                      A         
Well my sense of humanity is 
           E
going down the drain
Continues after the ad
E                           
Behind every beautiful thing, 
  A                         E
there's been some kind of pain
B              B/A            
She wrote me a letter and she 
G#m         E
wrote it so kind
C#m             B                
She put down in writin' what was 
A      E
in her mind
B                B/A G#m         
I just don't see why I should even 
  E
care


[Refrain]

C#m            B             A  
It's not dark yet, but it's 
    E
getting there


[Verse 3]

E                     A          
Well I been to London and I been 
       E
to gay Paris
E                    A           
I followed the river and I got to
     E
 the sea
B                     B/A         
I've been down to the bottom of a 
G#m           E
world full of lies
C#m                B       
I ain't lookin for nothin' in 
   A        E
anyone's eyes
B            B/A       G#m      
Sometimes my burden is more than
       E
 I can bear


[Refrain]

C#m            B        A       
It's not dark yet, but it's 
    E
getting there


[Verse 4]

E                                  
I was born here and I'll die here, 
A          E
against my will
E                               A
I know it looks like I'm movin' 
                E
but I'm standin' still
B                 B/A         
Every nerve in my body is so 
G#m       E
naked and numb
C#m                           B  
I can't even remember what it was
                A            E
 I came here to get away from
B          B/A      G#m     
Don't even hear the murmur of a 
       E
prayer


[Refrain]

C#m           B             A   
It's not dark yet, but it's 
    E
getting there
