Title Scared Of The Dark
[Introduction: soft piano, slow rhythm with swing touch]
(Cmaj7 | Am7 | Dm7 | G7)
Mm-mm.... oh yeah...
Ooh, ooh...

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
I see the sun is coming,
Am7
Blinded by the light, where do I look?
Dm7
Turn and turn, the sun blinds me
G7
Or will it be my heart.

Cmaj7
Love in my blindness? or love in disguise?
Am7
I want to see reality without the sun blinding me
Dm7
I like sunlight if it's real
G7
It's scary to live in a perpetual dream.

[Pre-chorus Short chords, bass intensifies]
Fmaj7
I cling to think it's all true,
Em7
though love plays with your feelings ...

[Chorus Add choruses, rhythm intensifies]
Cmaj7
I don't know if this is love or fantasy
Am7
I'm afraid the sun will disappear
Dm7
And I don't... I don't want to stop being blinded
G7
I'm afraid to play at love ...
Cmaj7
And I don't...
Am7
I don't want to see the darkness,
I prefer the blinding light

[Verse 2 Soft, arpeggiated chords on guitar or piano]
Cmaj7
No way, no words to say,
Am7
Time slips away as the light fades.
Dm7
I'm still, my soul in darkness,
G7
Lost in the place where we parted.

Cmaj7
Now it's Sunday, the silence grows,
Am7
Where do the fading memories go?
Dm7
But I'm always here waiting,
G7
Yes, I'm always here waiting.

[Louder chorus, with harmonies and soft organ]
Cmaj7
I don't know if this is love or fantasy
Am7
I'm afraid the sun will disappear
Dm7
And no... I don't want to stop being blinded
G7
I'm afraid to play love...
Cmaj7
And I don't...
Am7
I don't want to see the darkness,
I want the blinding light

[Bridge Instrumentation is reduced, focus on vocals]
Fmaj7
Now I'm... turning slowly,
Em7
Evening is coming and the sun is going.
Dm7
Will the moon blind me anyway? I don't think so
G7
Tomorrow will the sun and its light return?

[Climactic final refrain, with vocal improvisations]
Cmaj7
I don't know if this is love or fantasy, (Oh, not love...)
Am7
I'm afraid the sun will disappear, (Afraid of losing the light..)
Dm7
And no... (No, no, no...)
G7
I don't want to stop being blinded...
Cmaj7
And no...
Am7
I don't want to see the darkness,
I want the sun and its blinding light

[Outro Soft piano, fading voices]
(Cmaj7 | Am7 | Dm7 | G7)
Mm-mm... afraid of losing the light...
Oh, yes...
