INTRO:   D      A        D        A       E        E    (x3)


A                         E               D                      A
Well it cuts just like as knife         Takes away your love of life
A                       E                 D                          D
Puts out your fire and leaves you in the ashes
A                        E              D                          A
And you lay there in the hole        What you loved now leaves you cold
A                       E                    D                       D
It’s hard to get the strength to face the morning

F#             D                 A               E
Some days you really feel like hiding
F#            D                  A             E
Some days you swear you’ll never go out anymore

CHORUS:
      D           A
And I’m not going back
      D        A             E          E
I’m not going back to my dark places
      D        A
I’m not going back
      D        A             E          E
I’m not going back to my dark places

VERSE 2: (same chords as first)
Well the days drag slowly by       All you want to do is cry
Nothing makes sense nothing has a reason
And the world is not the same   And you’re the one to blame
Before too long you feel just like a prisoner
Some days you really feel like screaming
Some days you swear you’ll never smile anymore

D PEAT CHORUS:

BDA K:
     G           D             G              D
It’s something they can’t see yet it seems so real to me
     G           D             A              A
Can’t explain just how I feel when what I feel is no emotion
    G            D        G              D
It’s not a tragedy, yet that’s how it seems to me
    G            D          A                    A
I wish that you could see or even for one minute be me

D PEAT INTRO x2

VERSE 3 (same chords  as first)
Well, I got there in the end       With the help of many friends
Some who helped by simply just believing
And the days look brighter now    Yet I know someday, somehow
I could end up back there in an instant
Some days I really feel like laughing
Some days I realize I must stay on my guard
