And I know a game,          two of us can play, 
               C        Csus4                   C      Csus4              
And there are no rules,       you'd break them anyway,
                 Am7                  Gsus4   G
When I reach for you, and you turn a - way, 
              C           Csus4         C            Csus4
That's murder in the dark,       murder in the dark!

                  C          Csus4              C            Csus4
Did you turn out the light,         so I can't see your eyes? 
                  C        Csus4                     C             Csus4              
If I can't read your lips,       did you think that you could hide?
                    Am7                            Gsus4   G
When you don't tell the truth, without ever telling lies, 
               C           Csus4          C            (Csus4)
That's murder in the dark,         murder in the dark!


        G     Gsus4 G     Am9  Am7         (A7sus4) Am7
And I know,            I never will again, 
        G     Gsus4 G     Am9  Am7    (A7sus4) Am7
And I know,            I know, 
        G     Gsus4 G           Am7       G        Am7       G
Oh, I know...          that the sun will rise, the sun will fall,
      Am7    G      Fadd9     G
The heavens spin and fool us all!


                         C     Csus4                   C        Csus4
I thought there'd be a change,       I really should have known,
              C        Csus4                      C         Csus4              
Right before the dawn,        all the party fa - vours gone,
              Am7                    Gsus4   G
It's a funny thing, but you can play alone, 
        C           Csus4          C            (Csus4)
Murder in the dark,        murder in the dark!

And I know...          that the sun will rise, the sun will fall,
      Am7    G      Fadd9     G
The heavens spin and fool us all!

       C            Csus4         C            Csus4              
Murder in the dark,        murder in the dark,
       C   Csus4        C  Csus4         C   Csus4       C  Csus4
Love hurts-----, love scars-----, love wounds-----, and mars----,
        C       Csus4      C        Csus4                   C    Csus4
Anyone not tough----, or strong e - nough to take a lot of pain-------,
               C  Csus4                   C    Csus4          
Take a lot of pain-----, love is like a flower,
                 C  Csus4                  C            
Holds a lot of rain,       holds a lot of rain!
