The Crookes

Maybe In The Dark

The Crookes


Tom: B

B                                F#
Maybe it's just cheap easy lust with chemicals 
E
we’re dirt forever 
B                                         F#
Maybe we're blessed, I'll rip your dress, you pull my hair 
    E
now we'll leave together 
B                                          F#
Maybe you're young, I'll bite your tongue, your lip will bleed 
E
we’re trash forever 
B                                    F#
Maybe you're right, just for tonight your clumsy kiss 
E
Won't taste so clever 

[Pre-Chorus]
    F#
And all I need is a substitute 
      G#m                F#               E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you 

[Chorus]
              B              F#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame 
      B         F#         E
What if we ever meet again?
               B              F#
I'll know your face, not your name
    B         F#  E
But we'll know

[Verse 2]
B                                F#
Maybe I'll find pleasure tonight with chemicals 
E
I'll hardly miss her
B                                      F#
Maybe you wear clothes like she wears, same coloured hair 
E
I'm sick forever    

[Pre-Chorus]
    F#
And all I need is a substitute 
      G#m                  F#               E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you 

[Chorus]
              B              F#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame 
      B         F#         E
What if we ever meet again?
               B              F#
I'll know your face, not your name
    B         F#  E
But we'll know

E                B              F#
   Our eyes were bright, out of sight 
     B                F#        E
Two strangers caught behind the night 
           B              F#       E     B   F#
You're the perfect second best 

[Bridge]
E                   B         F#
   Now every time I see your  ghost
E                   B        F#
   Now every time I see your ghost
           B       F#     E
You're the perfect second best

[Chorus]
              B              F#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame 
     B          F#         E
What if we ever meet again?
               B              F#
I'll know your face, not your name
    B         F#  E
But we'll know

E                B              F#
   Our eyes were bright, out of sight 
    B                F#          E
Two strangers caught behind the night 
           B              F#       E     B   F#
You're the perfect second best
