You may wanna capo the 1st fret and play the F's like E's and the Bb's like A's, and then play Dm, C, and Am
as bar chords.

And that I see a darkness

Did you know how much I love you?
Bb F Dm
Is there hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness?

And we can stop our whoreing

And never go to sleep

My best unbeaten brother

This isn't all I see
