[VERSE 1]

Dsus2                    D7sus2
Darkness, darkness be my pillow

        C               Dsus2
Take my head and let me sleep

Dsus2                    D7sus2
In the coolness of your shadow

        C               Dsus2
In the silence of your deep
------------------------------------------------

[CHORUS 1]

        G                   Dsus2
Darkness, darkness hide my yearning

        G                   Dsus2
For the things    I cannot be

        Cadd9               Dsus2
Keep my mind from constant turning

        G                   Dsus2
Toward the things I cannot see, now

Cadd9   G       Dsus2   
Things I cannot see, now

Dsus2                    D7sus2
Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome

        C               Dsus2
Ease the day that brings me pain

Dsus2                    D7sus2
I have felt the edge of sadness

I have known the depth of fear

Cover me with the endless night

        Cadd9               Dsus2
Take away, take away the pain of knowing

        G                   Dsus2
Fill the emptiness of right now 

Cadd9   G       Dsus2   
Emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right
