The Dark I Know Well

There is a part I can't tell 'bout the dark I know well.

You say, "Time (F5)for bed now,

(Am)child." (Dm7)Mom (F5)just smiles (Am)that smile,

(Dm7)just (F5)like she (Am)never saw me,

(Dm7)just (F5)like she (Am)never saw me.

So, I (Dm7)leave, wantin' just to hide,

knowin' (F5)deep (Am)inside

(Dm7)you (F5)are (Am)comin' to me, (Dm7)you are comin' (Am)to me...

You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight,

then you hold me and you whisper,

"Child, the Lord won't mind.

It's just you and me.

Child, you're a (F)beauty.

God, it's good- the lovin'.

Ain't it good tonight?

You ain't seen nothin' yet- gonna treat you right.

It's just you and me.

Child, you're a beauty."

I don't scream, though I know it's wrong.

(Dm7)I just (F5)play (Am)along.

(Dm7)I lie (F5)there (Am)and breathe,

(Dm7)lie (F5)there (Am)and breathe.

I wanna be strong,

(F5)want the (Am)world to find out that you're (F5)dreamin' (Am)on me,

(Dm7)me (F5)and my (Am)"beauty," (Dm7)me (F5)and my (Am)"beauty."

You say all (F)beauty."
