Our Darkness Chords by Anne Clark

_ _ [Abm] _ _ [Eb] _ _

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
Through the city nightmares you'd walk with me
And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance
[Ab] _ That it wouldn't [Eb] tear up the pot _ _ _
We'd keep our heads above the blackened water _
But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place
_ [Ab] And you're gone now
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ Through a grinding window that can't keep clean
Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the [Abm] sun
You're nowhere [Gb] to be seen
You're [Eb] nowhere to be seen, thief _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _
Do you think our desires still burn? _
I guess it was desires that tore us apart
_ [Ab] There [Gb] has to be [Eb] _ passion _ _
A passion for living _ _ _
Surviving
_ And that means detachment
_ _ [Gb] Everybody [Eb] has a weapon to fight you with _
To beat you with when you are down _ _
There were too many defences between us
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Abm] Doubting all the time, fearing all the time
Doubting all the time, [N] fearing all the time
But like these other nightmares
We'd [Ebm] blacken each other's skies _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ Black
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Black _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ When we passed the subways
We'd try to ignore our fate there
A written threat from endless walls
[Gb] _
[Eb] Undustified crimes carried in sludge and mud
_ _ What you want from me now is pouring rain
It used to mingle without tears
[Gb] Then dry with [Eb] the hope that we left behind _ _
It rains even harder [Abm] now
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] Black
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Black
[Eb] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
