Blackout Chords

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


[Chorus 1]
B
Are you afraid of the darkness?
E
Are you afraid of the darkness?
G#m                        E
I'm afraid of the darkness too


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


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


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


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


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


[Outro]
C#m
Meet me in the middle
E
Meet me in the middle
G#m                         F#
Bring a burning candle with you
C#m
Meet me in the middle
E
Meet me in the middle
G#m                         F#
I will be there waiting for you
C#m
Meet me in the middle
E
Meet me in the middle
G#m                        E
Bring a burning candle with you
C#m
Meet me in the middle
