lead is in c#m pentatonic (9th fret root):

E           C#m    A/E                  E   
Shadows are falling and I been here all day
                C#m  A/E                    E
It's too hot to sleep and time is running away
B            B/A             A    E      C#m
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
                   E              A          E
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
B                B/A               A  E      C#m
There's not even room enough to be anywhere

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin' what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris
I followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down to the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't lookin for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here, against my will*)
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
