Another One In The Dark

The Wallflowers


Tom: Bm

D                                      G
We took 'em high, we took 'em straight up the hill
D                               G
They wanted it all, we gave 'em such a fill
D                         G
In their parades we stole every thrill
D                          G
And in their games we made every kill

D                                   G
We took them hard, we took them up against the wall
D                       G
In their loss we never let them fall
D                             G
In their flames we sailed up to the moon
D                                   G
In their rains we stayed dry like a fire would

       D            D7M(5+)/Bb
So the bottom of my fears
            D6/B                 G
Is that the girl might just disappear
                   D
But that'll be the death of me
                     A
The day she's just a memory

( Bm  A  G  Bm  A  G )

         Bm
Well she turned out the lights
                                 G
When she opened the whites of my eyes
                   D
Another one in the dark
F#m         Bm
Broken all apart
     A                   G     A    A5+/E
Just another one in the dark

        D                        G
When we rolled, rolled on like a big drum
        D                     G
We went to the top just above everyone
     D                                                 G
They wanted to win, tie us up with a string, and steal everything
D                                          G
We took 'em skin on skin, we laid 'em down in the ring

      D            D7M(5+)/Bb
So I swear, we're a pair
      D6/B              G
Like loneliness and a prayer
                   G
And you know I may still believe
             A
You may still need me

( Bm  A  G  Bm  A  G )

         Bm
Well, she turned out the lights
                                 G
When she opened the whites of my eyes
                    D
Another one in the dark
F#m               Bm
Broken from the start
      A                  G     A    A5+/E
Just another one in the dark

( D  G )
( D  G )

             D                         G
And in their nights we made out with a loud scream
             D                 G
And in their sleep we howled inside every dream
              D        D7M(5+)/Bb
So if you're trying to break me
     D6/B               G
Come on why don't you shake me
                D                            A
Right out of my tree, the one that you made me, me

( Bm  A  G  Bm  A  G )

           Bm
Well, she sang out of tune

When she shot down the moon
     G
As I saw my all freeze
Down onto my knees
            Bm
Where I was hit at the hip, between the cup and the lip
            G
As I was struck down under, with lightning and thunder
       Bm
As she cut all the strings, that I'd tied to her wings
         G          D        F#m             Bm
Leaving me in the dark, we stood just feet apart
        A                 G     A    A5+/E     D
But she never seen me at all
