              Intro: C#m, A, E, B 
(the kids in the dark) 
(the kids in the dark) 
 
Verse: 
 
 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 too far to pretend that we don't 
 
    E                     B 
we don't miss where we started  
 
 C#m                  A 
but looking back I see a setting sun 
 
      E                            B 
and watch my shadow fade into the floor 
 
C#m            A 
I am left standing on the edge 
 
     E                         B 
and wondering how we got this far 
(how we got this far) 
 
REF: 
 
B              C#m 
They left us alone 
 
                  A 
the kids in the dark 
 
                E 
to burn our forever 
 
                   B 
or light up the spark 
 
             C#m 
we come together 
 
              A 
state of the art 
 
               E 
we'll never surrender   
 
                  B 
the kids in the dark 
 
so let the world sing 
  
C#m 
what a shame 
 
A 
what a shame 
 
  E                  B 
beautiful scars on critical veins 
 
        C#m 
come together 
 
              A 
state of the art 
 
                E 
we'll never surrender 
 
                 B 
the kids in the dark 
 
the kids in the dark 
 
 
(kids in the dark) 
(kids in the dark) 
 
Verse: 
 
 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 
 
 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 
and wondering why we fall so hard 
(why we fall so hard)
