Oooooh oooooh
Gm     F

[Verse 1]
Cm                    Gm
What have I told you?
                       F
You wanted someone quiet
                       F
I just kept runnin' fast
                       Cm
Away from my comin' past
                    Gm
What did you say to me?
                 F
You got a lot of night in you
                        F
You're just a lion with things to 
prove


[Verse 2]
                      Cm
So just keep lyin' to me
                     Gm
Just keep tucking in my sheets
                             F
Telling me darling you'™re a feral 
one
                               F
And that you best be scared of me
                    Cm
What have I said to you
                Gm
Thought in your arms I'™d find my 
strength
    F
But you just took it away
  F
I guess you said ...


[Chorus]
                               Cm
Oh, you know 'cause what's the use?
                  Gm
What's the use of tryin'?
                         F
She's in a room with her eyes closed
                        F
She's in a room with no windows
   Cm
So tired
                        Gm
I was frightened of the night
                      F
Until I took it in my hands, oh
                    F
To shut out all the light

[Verse 3]
Gm             F
What do I look like
              Cm
A little girl lost
              Cm
A little lost cause
Gm                   F
Is that pity in your eyes
                       F
At least you warned me first
                      F
That it's supposed to hurt


[Verse 4]
                     Gm
So just keep pushin' me
                 F
Just keep tryin' harder
                    Cm
I'™m not a hero or a martyr
                              Cm
Think I'™m the villain of this story
    Gm
Oh, please
                        F
If you know what'™s good for me
                            Cm
You'™ll just keep me feeling lonely
                       Cm
Until it puts me on my knees


[Chorus 2]
                               Gm
Oh, you know 'cause what's the use?
                  F
What's the use of tryin'?
                         Cm
She's in a room with her eyes closed
                        Cm
She's in a room with no windows
   Gm
So tired
                        F
I was frightened of the night
                      Cm
Until I took it in my hands, oh
                    Cm
To shut out all the light, oh


[Chorus 3]
                  Gm
As I grow older I become
                   F
Less afraid of the dark
                           Cm
And more afraid of growing older
Cm
Mmmmmm
                           Gm
So won't you kiss me up to God
                      F
Cause he knows what I want
                      Cm
Just for something to believe in
          Cm
Cause I'm not

He said 'Oh, child
             F
You got that lion in you
               Cm
Let me lay you down
            Cm
You'll feel alright when it's 
through.'

[Chorus 4]
                  Gm     F
As I grow older I become
            Cm
Less afraid of the dark
                           Gm    F
And more afraid of growing older
Cm
Mmmmmm
                           Gm  F

                      Cm
Cause he knows what I want
                      Gm       F
Just for something to believe in
      Cm
Cause I'm not
