[Verse 1]
Gm
When did I become afraid of the dark? Are my
Gm
Eyeballs just yet to adjust to seeing the light?
Cm Gm
The room I’m in is still the same, the shadows have not rearranged it
A D
No the only thing that’s changed is how I see at night
Cm Gm
I fumble for the switch and strap on infrareds and wish for
Eb D Gm
Sunshine when the morning’s somewhere else
Gm Cm
But I can’t change what time it is or dilate my irises
F D D
Only what I look at, and I’m looking at myself
[Chorus 1]
Gm A Cm D
I am not the sunshine, I am not the moon at night
Gm A Cm D
Well, who else could I be when I can’t hardly see
Gm A Cm D
I am not the sunshine, I am not the moon at night
Gm Eb A D Gm
I’m no one if I’m nowhere in between
Gm
[Verse 2]
Gm
When did I become afraid of the dark? Was it
Gm N.C.
When I left the cave and swore I’d never go back?
Cm Gm
If we can’t see each other then there’s no more use for hiding
A D
I’ve decided I’ll abide it, why deny the color black?
Cm Gm
I’m not a flower, not a solar-powered calculator
Eb D Gm
Damn my eyes for seeing what’s not there
G Cm
I’ll trade in vision for a practiced intuition
F D D7
Till my fears come to fruition I’m not scared
[Chorus 1]
Gm A Cm D
I am not the sunshine, I am not the moon at night
Gm A Cm D
Well who else could I be when I can’t hardly see
Gm A Cm D
I am not the sunshine, I am not the moon at night

I’m no one if I’m nowhere in between

Gm Eb Cm Gm
The future must know where you’ve been
Gm Cm D Gm
The past predicts the state you’re in
Gm Eb Cm Gm Gm Eb A D
The present did and will not last, is. isn’t. was. Have. hasn’t. has
Gm A7 D Gm
All that I ask is, keep those empty frames
Gm Cm D D7
If nobody’s in them, then no one is to blame
Gm A7 D Gm
For your self-portraits, sign another name
G Cm Ab G
Well, who should I be then, if I’ll never be the same?
[Chorus 2]
Cm D Fm G
I will be my sunshine, I will be my moon at night
Cm D Fm G7
Who else could I be, when I can’t fucking see?
Cm D Fm G
I will be my sunshine, I will be my moon at night
Cm Ab Fm G
I’m nowhere now here’s no one now to be

And if dreams can come true, what does that say about nightmares?

I’ll stay awake tonight
