[Verse 1]
F          C
How do you manage
F               C
With all you're going through
F           C
Look at the carnage
              G
You've left behind you
    F        C
You run into dead ends
         F          C
When you don't even try
    F             C
You cut off your friends
                 G
When you get too high
            F  C
And now the press
F              C
Has found you out
    F        C
One can only guess
             G
What this is about
                   F  C
And your so called friends
        F          C
They're out to surround you
F             C
And all these loose ends
              G
Are wrapping around you

[Chorus]
              F        C
These are the dark new days
F            C
That much is true
        F       C
There's so many ways
         G
To crush you
    F             C
And you got your shadows
    F             C
And you got your doubts
    F             C
And you got your battles
                       G
But you fight your way out
                    F        C
Yeah, these are the dark new days
F            C
That much is true
              F       C
And there are so many ways
         G
To crush you

[Chorus]
                    F     C

F            C
That much is true
          F       C
There are so many ways
         G
To crush you
                   F   C
Yeah, you got your shadows
    F            C
And you got your doubts
    F            C
And you got your battles
                       G
But you fight your way out
                    F        C
Yeah, these are the dark new days
F            C
That much is true
            F       C
And there's so many ways
         G
To crush you
