Chords submitted by Joe Crapa available through webmaster@duncansheik.com

C9	            G
You may not see the end of it
    A           E
But luckily she comes around
    C9            G
It isn’t what she talks about
     A                 E
It’s just the way she is
(...and she says)
E           Bm
Ooh darlin’ don’t you know
C9           G             A
The darkness comes and the darkness goes
E                     Bm
Ooh babe why don’t you let it go?
C9           G             A
Happiness is never how you think it should be so
C9               G
I mystified the simple life
   A              E
I covered up with consciousness
   C9             G
I saw myself and broke it down 
     A                E
Till nothing more was left
    C9            G
She saw the symptoms right away
    A              E
And spoke to me in poetry
    C9                 G
Sometimes the more you wonder why
    A                 E
The worse it seems to get
(...and she says)
E           Bm
Ooh darlin’ don’t you know
C9           G             A
The darkness comes and the darkness goes
E                     Bm
Ooh babe why don’t you let it go?
C9           G             A
Happiness is never how you think it should be so
E            Bm   C9 G A   
She runs away
E            Bm   C9 G A   
She runs away...
    C9             G
And then you know comes a time
    A                  E
You need her more than anything
    C9                G
You may believe yours are the wounds
     A            E
That only she can heal
     C9              G
Then everything will turn around
    A              E
And she becomes so serious
     C9           G
What she chose to offer you 
     A           E
Was all that you could have
(...and she says)
E           Bm
Ooh darlin’ don’t you know
C9           G             A
The darkness comes and the darkness goes
E                     Bm
Ooh babe why don’t you let it go?
C9           G             A
Happiness is never how you think it should be so
E            Bm   C9 G A   
She runs away
E            Bm   C9 G A   
She runs away...
E            Bm   C9 G A    A
She runs away...
