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