A                        D
When I saw you standing there
                          A
With the dyed-up blonded hair
                        D
They said that you had clout
                 A
I said I didn't care
                          D
When the liquor was all clear
                              A
I could see you through the glass
                           D
There's something I could tell you
                 Em
But I forgot to ask

Em                    Em   G
In the shadow of the stars
                       G
The lighter makes a spark
                      A       D  A  D
But I look better in the dark
                  A       D
I look better in the dark

A                          D
Do you think it would be weird
                       A
If I dropped into a dream?
                      D
Always the first to know
                     A
Always the last to leave
                        D
If you're sober in the morning
                      A
We can always just pretend
                            D
That you drank on your way home
                     Em
And the party didn't end

 Em                          Em
When the sunlight meets the dawn
G
You'll see I'm not the one you want
 G                      A        D
'Cause I look better in the dark
