This Wild Darkness

D
Apportioned like madness in season
Am
Bracing all like a breaking of 
reason
G
With every night lost and every day 
torn
G
With a drama feeling calmer and it's
 a comma in the storm
D
Speakers are crying like a forest in
 the rain
Am
I was so alone with my thoughts and 
my pain
G
And the darkness closed like a mouth
 on a wild night
G
I'll never be free


[Chorus]
D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way


[Verse 2]
D
I can't stand on my own anymore
Am
I can't stand in the stain of the 
broken and poor
G
I can't break what I held and it 
never was true
G
In the mirror what I said was a lie 
to you
D
And me and everything I see and 
everything I could
Am
Tried so hard to be good
G
For myself, for you, for the hidden 
and divine, for everything
G
but I can fail just so many times


[Chorus]
D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way


[Verse 3]
D
I can't stop when I feel like 
stopping
Am
At 5 A.M. just cry, shoot, copping
G
A perfect life was enough for you
G
And ever enough to see me through
D
For all my lies that were spoken in 
ways
Am
And the way we lived as an affront 
to the days
G
It was an affront to the things that
 we cared about
G
It was an affront to everything that
 we cared about


[Chorus]
D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way

D            Am
Ooh, in this darkness
                G
Please light my way
         G
Light my way
