Verse 1:
F#m C#7
Breathing in the dark
F#m
Lying on its side
F#m C#7
The ruins of the day
F#m
Painted with a scar
F#m C#7
And the more I straighten out
F#m
The less it wants to try
F#m C#7
The feelings start to rot
F#m
One wink at a time
Chorus 1:
Oh
Bm C#m A
Forgiving who you are
D C#m Bm
For what you stand to gain
C#m A
Just know that if you hide
D C#m Bm
It doesn’t go away
C#m A
When you get out of bed
D Bm
Don’t end up stranded
C#
Horrified with each stone
C#7
On the stage
F#m
My little dark age
F#m
Verse 2:
F#m C#7
Picking through the cards
F#m
Knowing what’s nearby
F#m C#7
The carvings on the face
F#m
Say they find it hard
F#m C#7
And the engine’s failed again
F#m
All limits of disguise
F#m C#7
The humor’s not the same
F#m
Coming from denial
Chorus 2:
Oh
Bm C#m A
I grieve in stereo
D C#m Bm
The stereo sounds strange
C#m A
I know that if you hide
D C#m Bm
It doesn’t go away
C#m A
If you get out of bed
D Bm C#m
And find me standing all alone open-eyed
C#7
Burn the page my little dark age

Chorus 3:
Bm C#m A
I grieve in stereo

The stereo sounds strange

You know that if it hides

It doesn’t go away

If I get out of bed

You’ll see me standing all alone horrified
C#7
On the stage
F#m
My little dark age
F#m
Bridge:
N.С.
Giddy with delight
N.С.
Seeing what’s to come
D#m C#m
The image of the dead
Bm Em
Dead ends in my mind
Chorus 4:
Bm C#m A
Policemen swear to god
D C#m Bm
Love’s seeping from the guns

I know my friends and I
D C#m Bm
Would probably turn and run

If you get out of bed
D Bm C#
Come find us heading for the bridge
C#
Bring a stone
C#7
All the rage
C#7
My little dark age

You’ll see me standing all alone

Open-eyed

Burn the page

My little dark age
