[Verse 1]
G
All those metaphors you learn in high school
G7                                              C
Dark and light is wrong and right it never made sense to me
                   G
Here's what I can see:

[Chorus]
          D
You can't see the stars if there's too much light
                                      D7
Ain't nothing like holding you in the middle of the night
              C
After getting burned by the sun in a hard day's work
         D             G
Baby I'm fine with the dark

[Verse 2]
      G
Ain't nothing like a blackout in New York City
G7
All those lights just get tired of looking pretty
    C                                       G
I'm walking down Broadway here's what I can say:

[Chorus]
    D
You can't see the stars if there's too much light
      D
Ain't nothing like holding you in the middle of the night
              C
After getting burned by the sun in a hard day's work
         D             B
Baby I'm fine with the dark

[Verse 3]
B            Em     C       G
I tossed my coin in to that wishing well
     B              Em        C           G
and jumped right in after it as far as I could tell
      B    Em       C       G
That great void was full of infinity
Em                   C        G
Black as the fear of endless possibilities
 B             Em     C             G
Black as the moonless woods of my unsung prayer
 B           Em     C           G
Black as the velvet Elvis of my repair
B            Em    C                  A
Black as the color of my true love's hair

[Verse 4]
          G
Yeah well everybody's talking about that great white light they
G7                                        C
See in the end if you lived right I don't know about that
                  D     G     G
But I know what I need

[Chorus]
     D
You can't see the stars if there's too much light
                                      D7
Ain't nothing like holding you in the middle of the night
              C
After getting burned by the sun in a hard life's work
          D             G
Baby I'm fine with the dark

[Outro]
C         D             G
Baby I'm fine with the dark
C         D             G
Baby I'm fine with the dark
