[Intro]

Dm - F - Em - F
Dm

[Verse 1]
        Dm                    G
Maybe I listen more than you think
            Am             G
and I can tell that somebody sold you
        Dm                     G
We said we’ve never let anyone in
             Am           G
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets

[Chorus]
F               G                C
The system only dreams in total darkness
            F
Why are you hiding from me?
           G                 C
We’re in a different kind of thing now
                  F
All night you’re talking to God

Dm

[Verse 2]
Dm                              G
I thought that this would all work out after a while
            Am             G
Now you’re saying that I’m asking for too much attention
Dm                              G
Also no other faith is light enough for this place
            Am             G
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets

[Chorus]
F               G                C
The system only dreams in total darkness
            F
Why are you hiding from me?
           G                 C
We’re in a different kind of thing now
                  F
All night you’re talking to God

Dm

[Bridge]
F             G
I cannot explain it
C          F
Any other, any other way
F             G
I cannot explain it
C          F
Any other, any other way

Dm

[Solo]

Dm - G - Am - G (x2)
F - G - C - F (x2)

F - G - C - F

[Chorus]
F               G                C
The system only dreams in total darkness
            F
Why are you hiding from me?
           G                 C
We’re in a different kind of thing now
                  F
All night you’re talking to God

[Outro]
F             G
I cannot explain it
C          F
Any other, any other way
F             G
I cannot explain it
C          F
Any other, any other way
F             G
I cannot explain it
C          F
Any other, any other way
F             G
I cannot explain it
C          F
Any other, any other way

Dm
