Bm     D     F#m   E

[Verse 1]
                         Bm     D     F#m   E
You're watching your favorite show
          Bm   D     F#m    E
When the TV died
             Bm   D            F#m     E          Bm  D   F#m    E
The biggest power-cut in your neighbourhood since 1989
Bm    D            F#m       E
A blackout in the center of town
    Bm          D                 F#m       E
But down in the suburbs where it first went out
               Bm      D          F#m      E
They've been asking, asking the question

[Chorus 1]
A                     Amaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?
D                     Dmaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?
F#m               E         D
I'm afraid of the darkness too

[Verse 2]
       Bm    D    F#m   E
In the hospital
       Bm    D       F#m   E
On the critical ward
           Bm      D
Too long a breath between
    F#m           E           Bm      D      F#m    E
The break and the backup of a life support
Bm     D                  F#m         E
One system failure and it stopped her heart
Bm    D                     F#m    E
One power vacuum and we're coming apart
               Bm      D           F#m    E
We should be asking, asking the question

[Chorus 2]
A                     Amaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?
D                     Dmaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?
F#m               E        D
I'm afraid of the darkness too
A                       Amaj7
We're all caught in the blackout
D          Dmaj7             F#m
Trying to feel our way out
             E
Wait for the morning
                     D
I'll be waiting for you

[Post-Chorus]
Bm
Meet me in the middle
D
Meet me in the middle
F#m                          E
Bring a burning candle with you
Bm
Meet me in the middle
D
Meet me in the middle
F#m                          E
I will be there waiting for you

[Bridge]
            Bm      D      F#m     E
I was in my comfort zone
              Bm      D     F#m    E
I was singing selfish songs
          Bm     D               F#m       E               Bm      D     F#m   E
I've been taking for granted everyone understood how easy trouble comes
          Bm    D           F#m   E
But it's not enough anymore
               Bm     D        F#m        E          Bm
We can't just turn around and close the door on the world
           D        F#m       E
It's asking uneasy questions
              Bm      D        F#m (BDA K)
We should be asking ourselves uneasy questions

[Chorus 2]
A                     Amaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?
D                     Dmaj7
Are you afraid of the darkness?
F#m               E        D
I'm afraid of the darkness too
A                       Amaj7
We're all caught in the blackout
D          Dmaj7             F#m
Trying to feel our way out
             E
Wait for the morning
                     D
I'll be waiting for you

[Outro]

Bring a burning candle with you

I will be there waiting for you
