Bb Gm
The emotion it was, electric

And the stars, they all aligned

But I never made the time

No, I never made the time

In the dark, for a while now

I can't stay, so far
Bb Gm
I can't stay, much longer
G# Cm F Bb
Riding my decision home
Exoneration lost his, eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one
In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, very far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home
F# C# G#
There is a majesty at my doorstep
F# C# G#
There is a little boy in her arms
F# C# Bbm
Now we'll parade around without game plans
F# F
Obligations, or alarm
In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, very far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home
In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home
In the dark
