Crawling In The Dark

F#m A A4 A E4 E E4 (x3) D2 E4 E
F#m A A4 A E4 E E4 (x3) D2 E4 E
F#m A A4 A E4 E E4 F#m A A4 A E4 E E4
I will dedicate and - sacrifice my every
D2 E4 E D2 E4 E
Thing for just a second's worth of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
F#m A A4 A E4 E E4 F#m A A4 A E4 E E4
Show me what it's for - make me understand it
D2 E4 D2 E4
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer
F#m A A4 A E4 E E4 F#m A A4 A E4 E E4
Is there something more - than what I've been handed?
D2 E4 D2 E4 E
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer
Help me carry on - assure me it's okay to
Use my heart and not my eyes to navigate the darkness
Will the ending be, ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for - make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer
*Break* F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m G
F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m G
So when and how will I know?
F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m F#*F#m G (x2)
D2 E4 F#m
How much further do I have to go?
D2 A2 E
And how much longer until I finally know?
D2 E4 F#m
Cause I'm looking and I just can't see
D2 E4 E
What's in front of me... in front of me
Show me what it's for - make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer

From the main riff comes all of the lead notes. The lead guitar plays
the intro pattern (note the difference in chords) over the verses and
plays chords over the chorus. On the "I've been crawling in the dark"
part of the chorus, emphasize the back beat (without losing momentum).
