C#m                A
Here we are at the end of the road
   E                   B
A road that's quietly caving in (caving in)
C#m                A
Come to far to pretend that we don't
    E                     B
We don't miss where we started (started)
C#m             A
Looking back I see a setting sun
 E                              B
Watch my shadow fade into the floor (floor)
C#m         A
I am left standing on the edge
 E                         B                    A
Wondering how we got this far (how we got this far)

Chorus:
              C#m
They left us alone
                 A
The kids in the dark
               E                       B/D#
To burn out forever or light out the spark
          C#m                 A
We come together state of the art
                E
We’ll never surrender
                 B
The kids in the dark so let the world sing
C#m        A
What a shame what a shame
E                  B/D#
Beautiful scars on critical veins
          C#m                 A
We come together state of the art
                E
We’ll never surrender
                 B                    A
The kids in the dark The kids in the dark

Here we are at the top of the hill
A hill that's quietly crumbling
Been a while since you dressed for the kill
The kill that sent me tumbling
Looking up, I see a falling star
And watch its fire burn into the floor
And I am left standing on the edge
Wondering why we fall so hard, why we fall so hard

Chorus

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
Whoa, whoa

Chorus

The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark
We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark,
the kids in the dark
