Watching her
A B B A
Strolling in the nights o white

Wondering why

In her eyes

A distant fire light burns bright

Wondering why
F#5 B A B A B A B A
It's only After Dark

I find myself in her room
E D E D
Feel the fever of my doom

Falling falling through the floor

I'm knocking on the Devils door
[Solo]: B A B A B A

Now I know her secret name
F# E F# E
You can tear her temple down

But she'll be back and rule again

In my heart

A deep and dark and lonely part

Wants her and waits for
B C D E F#
After Dark After Dark After Dark After Dark After Daaaaark
