                 F#m
Something in the dark is on it's way
              F#m
Beating of my heart it's not the same
                  D
Something in the dark calls out my name
                  D
It's tearing me apart

       D
No way out
          F#m
Scream so loud
             A
It makes no sound
             E
It holds me down
            D
It pulls me in
         F#m
Grabs my soul
             A
I can't say no
         E
So I let  go

                 F#m
Something in the dark is on it's way
               F#m
Beating of my heart it's not the same
                  D
Something in the dark calls out my name
                  D
It's tearing me apart

Chorus:
                 F#m
Something in the dark is on it's way
               F#m
Beating of my heart it's not the same
                  D
Something in the dark calls out my name
                 D
It's tearing me apart

Feel so free
Like I can fly
Inside my dreams
I feel like me
