Lyrics

(E)Sit ting here wide a wake,

think in’ a bout when I last saw you.

I (G#m)know you’re not far a way.

Close my eyes and I still see you, (A)ly ing here next to me,

wear ing noth ing but a (F#7sus4)smile.

(E)Got ta leave right a way,

count ing cracks a long the pave ment, to (G#m)see you face to face.

Think in’ a bout the con ver sa tion.

I (A)know I’m not one to chase.

I’ve nev er want ed noth in’ (F#7sus4)more,

but as I walk up to your (Amaj9)door...

I’m (E)stand ing in the dark, she’s danc ing on the ta ble.

(E)Look ing through the glass, she’s some one els e’s an gel.

It (C#m7)may sound stu pid that I (B)want ed you back, but I (A)want ed you back girl.

Now I’m stand ing in the (E)dark, dark.

Oh, dark, dark.

(E)All I wan na do is but I can’t stop my self from star ing.

(G#m)Wish ing his hands were

I can’t stop my self from car ing and (A)as he turns down the lights

I’m feel ing pa ra (F#7sus4)lysed.

And he looks in her (Amaj9)eyes...

I’m (E)stand ing in the dark, she’s danc ing on the ta ble.

(E)Look ing through the glass, she’s some one els e’s an gel.

It (C#m7)may sound stu pid that I (B)want ed you back, but I (A)want ed you back girl.

Now I’m stand ing in the (E)dark, dark.

Oh, dark, dark.

(E)dark, dark.

Oh, (E)dark, dark.

Oh, dark, dark.

Oh, (Asus2)oh.

Oh,

I’m stand ing in the (E)dark.

I’m stand ing in the (E)dark.

I’m (E)dark, dark.

Oh, dark, dark.

Oh, (E)dark, dark.

She’s some one els e’s an gel.

She’s some one els e’s an gel.
