           |D   |D7sus2  |C    |D    |

[verse: 1]
|D                        |D7sus2
 Darkness, darkness be my pillow
        |C              |D
Take my head and let me sleep
|D                       |D7sus2
 In the coolness of your shadow
       |C              |D
In the silence of your deep 

[chorus: 1]
         |G                |D
Darkness, darkness hide my yearning
        |G                 |D
For the things    I cannot be
        |Cadd9             |D
Keep my mind from constant turning
           |G              |D
Toward the things I cannot see, now
|Cadd9   G    |D               |
 Things____ I cannot see, now
|Cadd9   G   |D                |D     |
 Things____ I cannot see

[verse: 2]
|D                            |D7sus2
 Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
         |C                |D
Ease the day that brings me pain
|D                      |D7sus2
 I have felt the edge of sadness
       |C                 |D
I have known the depth of fear

[chorus: 2]
         |G              |D
Darkness, darkness be my blanket
      |G                  |D
Cover me with the endless night
          |Cadd9                 |D
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
         |G            |D
Fill the emptiness of right now 
|Cadd9   G      |D         |
 Emp__tiness of right now
|Cadd9   G     |D         |D     |
 Emp__tiness of right
