Chorus:
Amaj7      C#m   B              Amaj7
Why do you only love me in the dark?
            C#m    B              Amaj7
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
                C#m    B        F#m
Our hearts will never ever be apart
                  C#m
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark

Amaj7             C#m  B        Amaj7
I can feel the heat  across the bar
                      C#m  B      Amaj7
But you give me chills  across my arms
                    C#m    B       F#m
Why do I always pick  the wildest cards?
           C#m  B
Oh why, oh why?

Amaj7
Always givin' up my heart to break
C#m                      B
So you're never gonna cange your ways
Amaj7
Every time I tell you, "Stay away"
    C#m            B
You keep callin', keep callin'

Amaj7
Never out in the light of day
C#m                     B
Tell me why I've never seen your face
F#m
Every time you tell me I'm not safe
  C#m             B
I keep fallin' into the

Amaj7       C#m    B
Twilight, exhilaration
    Amaj7        C#m   B
You say I'm your inspiration
     Amaj7     C#m      B
But, baby, I'm so frustrated
    F#m                     Amaj7
The lights turn on, when I wake up, you're gone

Chorus:
Amaj7      C#m   B              Amaj7
Why do you only love me in the dark?
            C#m    B              Amaj7
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
                C#m    B        F#m
Our hearts will never ever be apart
                  A            B
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark - x2

I step into your world, see inside out
But when the music stops, I'm upside down
Am I the only girl you dream about?
Just say you're mine, mine

In the twilight, exhilaration
You say I'm your inspiration
But, baby, I'm so frustrated
The lights turn on, when I wake up, you're gone (Oh)

Chorus - x2
