verse 1 
D 
Apportioned like madness in season 
Am 
Bracing all like a breaking of reason 
G 
With every night lost and every day torn 
G 
With a drAma feeling calmer and it's a comma in the storm 
D 
Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain 
Am 
I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain 
G 
And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wire 
G 
And night, I'll never be free 
 

[Refrão]
D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness 
G 
Please light my way 
G 
Light my way 

D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness 
G 
Please light my way 
G 
Light my way 

verse 2 
D 
I can't stand on my own anymore 
Am 
I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor 
G 
I can't break what I held and it never was true 
G 
In the mirror what I said was a lie to you 
D 
And me and everything I see and everything I could 
Am 
Tried so hard to be good 
G 
For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine 
G 
For everything but I can fail just so many times 


[Refrão]
D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness 
G 
Please light my way 
G 
Light my way 

D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness 
G 
Please light my way 
G 
Light my way 

verse 3 
D 
I can't stop when I feel like stopping 
Am 
At 5 A.M. just cry, shoot, copping 
G 
A perfect life was enough for you 
G 
And ever enough to see me through 
D 
For all my lies that were spoken in ways 
Am 
And the way we lived as an affront to the days 
G 
It was an affront to the things that we cared about 
G 
An affront to everything that we cared about 


[Refrão]
D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness 
G 
Please light my way 
G 
Light my way 

D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness 
G 
Please light my way 
G 
Light my way 

D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness 
G 
Please light my way 
G 
Light my way 

D    Am 
Ooh, in this darkness
