Darkest Hour Chords

[Verse 1]
 
B                               E       B
Will you stay with me, will you hold my hand
B                           F#      B
Will you be my friend in my darkest hour
B                                  E          B
Though the fates may frown and the grapes may sour
D#m                       C#m     B
Will you be with me in my darkest hour
 
[Verse 2]
 
     G#m                  B
As I hold you now, I will hold you then
           E                     F#
Though the sun goes down and the stars burn out
           G#m               B
Though the bitter cup may be at your lips
       E                       F#      B
And we cannot kiss, I'll still be your love
 
[Chorus]
 
B                   E             B
Well hey, hey, hey, whatcha gonna do
     E               B                E           F#
Well you don't wanna try to drown the thorns with flowers
         B                        E        B
Well the flowers all fade but the thorns remain
         E    B          F#      B
Will you also stay in my darkest hour
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
B                    E                  B
Everywhere I go, the people say no, no, no
B              E
He's bad news, born to sin
       F#            B
What a shame, it's a crime
B                             E          B
Hear that whistle blow on the last train gone
         D#m                      C#m     B
And if I catch that train we will both be alone
 
[Verse 4]
 
     G#m             B
Far away, a bell has begun to ring
          E                  F#
While the lion roars and the cowards cower
    G#m             B
But what care I for all these things
          E                  F#      B
If you'll stay with me in my darkest hour.

[Verse 5]
 
B                                E       B
I'm in the Jordan garden with my longest night
         D#m                C#m         B
When the camp turns and the moon shines bright.
         G#m             B
Will you hold me in your arms while I
    E                   F#        B
The ladder climb to the realms of light
 
[Chorus]
 
B                   E             B
Well hey, hey, hey, whatcha gonna do
     E               B                E           F#
Well you don't wanna try to drown the thorns with flowers
         B                        E        B
Well the flowers all fade but the thorns remain
         E    B          F#      B
Will you also stay in my darkest hour
         D#m             F#      B
Will you also stay in my darkest hour
