[Verse]
 
Am
  Coming out to the light of day
      F
We got many moons that are deep at play 
    Am
So I keep an eye on the shadow smile
   F
To see what it has to say
Dm
  You and I both know
F                       Am
  Everything must go away
Am
Ah, what do you say?
Am
  Spinning Knot that is on my heart
         F
It’s like a bit of light in a touch of dark
       Am
You got sneak attack from the zodiac
      F
But I see your fire spark
Dm
  Eat the breeze and go
F                        Am
  Blow by blow and go away
Am
Oh what do you say?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     F
Yeah, you don’t know my mind
Dm                    Am
 You don’t know my kind
                     G
Dark necessities are part of my design
F                         Dm
  Tell the world that I’m falling from the sky

  Dark necessities are part of my design
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
  Stumble down to the parking lot
        F
You got no time for the after thought
             Am
They’re like ice cream for an astronaut
            F
Well that’s me looking for we
Dm
  Turn the corner and…
F                           Am
  Find the world at your command
Am
Playing the hand
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     F
Yeah, you don’t know my mind
Dm                    Am
 You don’t know my kind

[Bridge]
 
C
Do you want this love of mine?
Bb
darkness helps us all to shine
Dm                             F
Do you want it, do you want it now?
C
Do you want it all the time?
    Bb
But darkness helps us all to shine
Dm                             F
Do you want it, do you want it now?
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am
  Pick you up like a paper back
         F
With the track record of a maniac
      Am
So I move it in and we unpack
         F
It’s the same as yesterday
Dm
  Any way we roll
F                       Am
  Everything must go away

Ah, what do you say?
