C F C Shadows are falling and I've been here all day F C It's too hot to sleep and time is running away G G/F Em D C Feel like my soul has turned into steel Am G F C I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal G G/F Em D C There's not even room enough to be anywhere Chorus: Am G F C It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writing what was in her mind I just don’t see why I should even care Chorus Well, I’ve been to London and I’ve been to gay Paris I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea I’ve been down to the bottom of a world full of lies I ain’t lookin' for nothing in anyone’s eyes Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear Chorus I was born here, and I’ll die here, against my will I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
