              Intro: 
C#m A E B x2 
(The kids in the dark x4) 
 
verse 1: 
C#m                A 
Here we are at the end of the road 
E                    B 
A road that's quietly caving in (caving in) 
C#m            A 
Come to far to pretend that we don't  
         E             B 
We don't miss where we started (started) 
 
Pre Chorus: 
C#m            A 
Looking back I see a setting sun 
E                             B 
Watch my shadow fade into the floor (floor) 
C#m        A 
I am left standing on the edge 
E                         B                      A 
Wondering how we got this far (how we got this far) 
 
Chorus: 
             C#m 
They left us alone 
                A 
The kids in the dark 
            E                        B 
To burn out forever or light out the spark 
        C#m                   A 
We come together state of the art 
            E 
We'll never surrender  
                B 
The kids in the dark so let the world save 
C#m          A 
What a shame what a shame 
E                  B 
Beautiful scars on critical veins 
C#m                           A 
We come together state of the art 
            E                           
We'll never surrender      
                B             
The kids in the dark The kids in the dark 
 
Instrumental: 
C#m A E B  
 
verse 2: 
C#m                A 
Here we are at the top of the hill 
  E                   B 
A hill that's quietly crumbling  
C#m                    A 
Been a while since you dressed for the kill 
    E                 B 
The kill that sent me tumbling 
 
Pre Chorus: 
C#m          A 
Looking up I see a falling star 
    E                            B 
And watch its fire burn into the floor 
C#m           A 
And I am left standing on the edge 
E                        B                        
Wondering why we fall so hard (why we fall so hard) 
 
Chorus: 
             C#m 
They left us alone 
                A 
The kids in the dark 
            E                        B 
To burn out forever or light out the spark 
        C#m                   A 
We come together state of the art 
            E 
We'll never surrender  
                B 
The kids in the dark so let the world save 
C#m          A 
What a shame what a shame 
E                  B 
Beautiful scars on critical veins 
C#m                           A 
We come together state of the art 
            E                           
We'll never surrender      
                B             
The kids in the dark The kids in the dark
