E                A                   E
Roll Away your stone I'll roll away mine
E                 A                E
Together we will see what we will find
E                A            E
Don't leave me alone at this time
   Bsus4            A                     E
for I'm afraid of what I will discover inside

E                       A               E
'Cause you told me that I would find a hole
E                   A               E
within the fragile substance of my soul
E                       A                  E
But I have filled this void with things unreal
   F#m                 A            E
And All the while my character it steals

Chorus:
    C#m7          E/G#        B           E
And darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
    C#m7       E/G#        B       E
And yet it dominates the things I see

It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But, you say that's exactly how this grace thing works
It's not the long walk home
That will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with the restart

Chorus:
"Darkness" is a harsh term, don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
"Darkness" is a harsh term, don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek

E E/G# A         E
Stars hide your fires
 E/G#           A     E
These here are my desires
 E/G#       A      Bsus4
And I will give them up to you this time around and
E E/G# A     E
So I'll be found

With my stake stuck in this ground
Marking its territory of this newly impassioned soul
Hide your fires!
These here are my desires

And I will give them up to you this time around
And so, I'll be found
With my stake stuck in this ground
Marking its territory of this newly impassioned soul

     E   E/G#             A        E
But you, you've gone too far this time
    E/G#          A           E
You have neither reason nor rhyme
     E/G#      A        Bsus4           B7sus4      E
With which to take this home that is so rightfully mine
