[Estrofa]
E                   A                      E 
Shadows are falling and I've been here all day 
                          A               E 
It's too hot to sleep and time is running away 
B            B/A      G#m    F#m   E 
Feel like my soul has turned into steel 
C#m                 B              A          E 
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal 
B                B/A            G#m  F#m    E 
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
[Estribillo]
C#m           B         A           E   
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
[Estrofa]
E                      A                    E 
Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain 
E                             A                         E 
Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain 
B              B/A            G#m      F#m E 
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind 
C#m             B                A      E 
She put down in writin' what was in her mind 
B                B/A G#m        F#m E 
I just don't see why I should even care
[Estribillo]
C#m            B             A      E   
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
[Estrofa]
E                     A                 E 
Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris 
E                    A                E 
I followed the river and I got to the sea 
B                     B/A         G#m     F#m    E 
I've been down to the bottom of a world full of lies 
C#m                B          A        E 
I ain't lookin for nothin' in anyone's eyes 
B            B/A       G#m       F#m    E 
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
[Estribillo]
C#m            B        A           E   
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
[Estrofa]
E                                  A          E 
I was born here and I'll die here, against my will 
E                               A                E 
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still 
B                 B/A         G#m   F#m  E 
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb 
C#m                           B                  A            E 
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from 
B          B/A      G#m       F#m  E 
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
[Outro]
C#m           B             A       E 
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
