(Em)Take me (G)through the night, fall (C)in to the (D)dark side,

we don’t (G)need the light, we’ll (C)live on the (D)dark side.

I see it, let’s feel it while we’re still (D)young and fear less, (Em)let go (G)of the light, fall (C)in to the (D)dark side.

Fall (C)in to the (D)dark side,

give (C)in to the (D)dark side.

(Em)Let go (G)of the light, fall (C)in to the (D)dark side.

Be neath the (D)sky

it’s black as (G)dia (D)monds, we’re run ning (D)out of time.

Don’t wait for (D)truth

to come and (G)blind (D)us, let’s just be (D)lieve the lies.

Be lieve it, I see it, I know that (G)you can (D)feel it.

No se crets worth keep ing, so fool me like I’m dream ing.
