You Want It Darker
Verse
Em
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
G Am
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
Am
You want it darker
Em Am
We kill the flame
Pre-Chorus
Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
G Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em
A million candles burning for the help that never came
Am
You want it darker
Chorus
C G D
Hineni, hineni
Am
I'm ready, my lord
Verse
Em
There's a lover in the story
Em
But the story's still the same
Em
There's a lullaby for suffering
G Am
And a paradox to blame
Em
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
Am
You want it darker
Em Am
We kill the flame
Verse
Em
They're lining up the prisoners
Em
And the guards are taking aim
Em
I struggled with some demons
G Am
They were middle class and tame
Em
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
Am
You want it darker
Chorus
C G D
Hineni, hineni
EmAm
I'm ready, my lord
Post-Chorus
Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
G Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em
A million candles burning for the love that never came
Am
You want it darker
Em Am
We kill the flame
Verse
Em
If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
G Am
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
Am
You want it darker
Chorus
C G D
Hineni, hineni
C G D
Hineni, hineni
Em Am
I'm ready, my lord
