Gm
Somewhere in the South of France
Or the Caribbean sea
She said "I don't need to make a living
Fake diamonds got nothing on me"

I met her in the world below
She's a tourist of the world beneath
I said "everything I built from nothing"
She said "I'm so rich, everything's free"

F                      Cm
So dark, it ain't so dark
F                       D#
So dark, it ain't so dark

Chorus:
A#      D        Gm           Cm
Forever and ever, a torch in search of a flame
A#         D          Gm                D#
To be good, get better, well I've been feeling
this way
A#     D        Gm            Cm
Forever and ever, a night in search of a day
A#        D       Gm              D#
As anxious as ever, in search of dark,
dark, dark Saturday

What's your name and where you from?
Well I'm worth your weight in gold
While we lie here in the sun
The whole wide world's about to explode

Now our bodies intertwine
And the truth is plain to see
I said "everything I built from nothing"
She said "don't you blame your problems on me"

So dark
It ain't so dark
So dark
It ain't so dark
So dark
It ain't so dark

Chorus:
Forever and never
A torch in search of a flame
To be good, get better
I change by staying the same
Forever and never
A night in search of a day
As anxious as ever
It gets so dark, dark, dark

         A#       D
Shine a light my way
         Gm       Cm
Shine a light my way
               A#                     D
Having such a dark, dark, dark, dark Saturday
         Gm       D#
Shine a light my way

It's such a
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark Saturday
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark Saturday
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark Saturday
