Em                D
 It used to be so simple
         A            Bm
It was a world I understood
Em                  D
 I didn't know what I didn't know
    A                  Bm
And life seemed pretty good

[Verse 2]
Em                   Bm
But now the darkness rises
         A                    G
From somewhere deep inside of me
Em             Bm
This power overtakes me
      A                       F#m
Can I keep this midnight from getting free?

[Chorus]
         Bm            G             D       Em
If I can stay with the light, I know I'll be free!
          Bm          G            D           Em
And I can start to be whole, I can start to be me!
      Bm         A              D          Em
But instead I'm struggling with all that I see.
    F#m                                       Bm   G   Bm
And these friends mustn't see the midnight in me!
G               Bm  G
The midnight in me!
     Em              F#m         Bm
They mustn't see the midnight in me...
