Tom: D
D G D A
I have a mandolin.
D G D A
I play it all night long.
D G D A G
It makes me want to kill myself.
[Verse 2]
D G D A
I also have a dobro
D G D A
made in some mountain range
D G D A G
sounds like a mountain range in love
[Pre-chorus 1]
D G A
but when I turn up the tone
D G A
on my electric guitar
[Chorus]
D A D C G
I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me.
D A D C G
I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me.
[Verse 3]
D G D A
I went out to the forest and caught
D G C G
A hundred thousand fireflies.
D G D
As they ricochet round the room
A D G C G
they remind me of your starry eyes.
[Pre-chorus 2]
Em A G D
Someone else's might not have made me so sad
Em A G
but this is the worst night I ever had,
[Chorus]
D A D C G
'cause I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me.
D A D C G
I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me.
[Bridge]
D A D A G A G A
G D A
You won't be happy with me,
G D A
but give me one more chance
G D A G
you won't be happy anyway.
G D A
Why do we still live here
G D A
in this repulsive town?
G D A G
All our friends are in New York.
G D A
Why do we keep shrieking,
G D A
when we mean soft things?
G D A G
We should be whispering all the time...
