G D Am C
Baby turn on the light
G D Am C
I wanna see your face
G D Am C
I don't trust you out of sight
G D Am C
Afraid that you might fall from grace
G D Am C
where does that leave me
G D Am C
When your broken halo's on the ground
G D Am C
Or maybe the question here should be
G D Am C
What goes on when the lights go out
G F C D
It's not that I'm so scared of losing
G F C D
It's not that I fear a broken heart
G F C D
But I like to see the road I'm choosing
G D Am C
I guess I'm afraid of the dark
G D Am C
I guess I'm afraid of the dark
G D Am C
You come and go like a desert breeze
G D Am C
I swore I'd never let you in
G D Am C
You kick down my wall any time you please
G D Am C
Just to build it up again
G D Am C
How can you love so carelessly
G D Am C
How can you be so willing
G D Am C
Then you lay here silently
G D Am C
Making pictures on the ceiling
G F C D
It's not that I'm so scared of losing
G F C D
It's not that I fear a broken heart
G F C D
But I like to see the road I'm choosing
G D Am C
I guess I'm afraid of the dark
G D Am C
I guess I'm afraid of the dark
G D Am C
Oo yea yea
G D Am C G
You keep me afraid of the dark
