Precious Dark

           Am                        E
There's a place I don't want you to know of
        Am                    G
Hidden deep in a blindfolded heart
           Cm                G#
Where the desperate walk in silence,
         A#                 D#
Waiting for the ghosts to depart

           Am                       E
There's a game I don't want you to know of
      Am                   G
Masquerade, Cirque du Dècadence
   Cm              G#
A pawn in an empty chessboard
        A#                   D#
Moved around by a hand of a fool

       Fm        A#
Never played it safe
        D#     Cm7
It's a wicked game
     Fm        G#       A#
Any hand, any call, I'm in

           D#m      G#m                  C#
It said: "Love like you've never been hurt
     D#m        G#m                          C#
And dance till dawn like you've just been born
   D#m    G#m                  A#
A perfect toy made by perfect tools
         B                          C#
Playing Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of fools
        D#m        G#m                         C#
Take a hold of my hand, I have sights to show you
D#m          G#m                          C#
Gingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big Blue
D#m          G#m                          A#
Turn off the light, close your eyes wide shut
     B            C#      G#m
And welcome the precious dark"

( Am  E  Am  E )

        Am                   E
I have seen far, I've never seen close
             Am              G
There are no mirrors on my wall
Cm                       G#
Silent is the call of my ocean
         A#              D#
And the sirens washed ashore

         Am                  E
All the sins they have long shadows
          Am                         G
Turn the switch and the past comes alive
          Cm                     G#
Live and learn, 1,2,3, know your ABC
            A#               D#
It's their answer to every "why"

       Fm        A#
Never played it safe
        D#     Cm7
It's a wicked game
     Fm        G#       A#
Any hand, any call, I'm in

There was always a place that you knew of
         Am                    G
You were holding the keys all along
