[Verse]
F              E        Am          G        C
Found that man reported missing, he wandered in his home
         F               E      Am    G         C
It don't seem too bad if you consider just what he's been through

Am              Em     Am              Em
Seems he met up with a gang of thieves
Am              Em    Am           Em
Who mistook him for a man of means
     Dm                  Em       F
They locked him up, then found he had no money
G#              C
So they let him go again
F                E        Am    G       C
Now he's back at home and happy just to see the kids

[Pre-Chorus]
  Cmaj7                 Fmaj7        Cmaj7
I wish, that I could really tell you
 Em7                         Fmaj7
All the things that happened to me
Cmaj7
      Or all that I have seen

  Fmaj7         Em7           Fmaj7          Cmaj7
A world full of people, their hearts full of joy
Fmaj7     Em7        Fmaj7      Cmaj7
Cities of light with no fear of war
    Fmaj7        Em7            Fmaj7   Cmaj7
And thousands of creatures with happier lives
    Fmaj7       Em7         Fmaj7          Em7     C
And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to hide

N.C.
     Oh, keep it dark

|: C    :|

   F                E       Am   G      C
It seems strange to have to lie about a world so bright
    F              E      Am     G        C
And tell instead a made-up story from the world of night

  Cmaj7                 Fmaj7        Cmaj7
I wish, that I could really tell you
 Em7                         Fmaj7
All the things that happened to me
Cmaj7
      Or all that I have seen

  Fmaj7         Em7           Fmaj7          Cmaj7
A world full of people, their hearts full of joy
Fmaj7     Em7        Fmaj7      Cmaj7
Cities of light with no fear of war
    Fmaj7        Em7            Fmaj7   Cmaj7
And thousands of creatures with happier lives
    Fmaj7       Em7         Fmaj7          Em7     Fmaj7
And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to lie
   Em7     Fmaj7
No need to hate
  Em7      C
No need to hide

N.C.
     Oh, keep it dark
