  			Bb                  Gm 
The emotion it was, electric 
G#                      C 
And the stars, they all aligned 
F                        Bb Gm 
I knew I had to make my, decision 
G#               D# 
But I never made the time 
G#               D# 
No, I never made the time 

Bb                 F 
In the dark, for a while now 
Gm           D# 
I can't stay, so far 
Bb            Gm 
I can't stay, much longer 
G#        Cm       F    Bb 
Riding my decision home 

Exoneration lost his, eraser 
But my forgiver found the sun 
And there are twisted days that I take comfort 
Cause I'm not the only one 
No, I'm not the only one 

In the dark, for a while now 
I can't stay, very far 
I can't stay, much longer 
Riding my decision home 

F#                   C#  G# 
There is a majesty at my doorstep 
F#                    C#   G# 
There is a little boy in her arms 
F#                      C#      Bbm 
Now we'll parade around without game plans 
F#             F 
Obligations, or alarm 

In the dark, for a while now 
I can't stay, very far 
I can't stay, much longer 
Riding my decision home 

In the dark, for a while now 
I can't stay, so far 
I can't stay, much longer 
Riding my decision home 
In the dark
