[Verse 1]
Cm
  Coming out to the light of day
      G#
We got  many moons than are deep at play
    Cm
So I  keep an eye on the shadow smile
   G#
To see what it has to say
Fm
  You and I both know
G#                      Cm
  Everything must go away, ah,
what do you say?

[Verse 2]
Cm
  Spinnin' knot that is on my heart
           G#
It's like a  bit of light and a touch of dark
       Cm
You got  sneak attacked from the zodiac
      G#
But I see your fire spark
Fm
  Eat the breeze and go
G#                       Cm
  Blow by blow and go away, oh,
what do you say? Yeah

[Chorus]
G#
  You don't know my mind
Fm
  You don't know my kind
Cm                       A#
  Dark necessities are part of my design
G#                       Fm
  Tell the world that I'm  falling from the sky
Cm                       A#
  Dark necessities are part of my design

[Pre-Verse]
| Cm | G# | Cm | G# |

[Verse 3]
Cm
  Stumble down to the parking lot
       G#
You got  no time for the afterthought
            Cm
They're like  ice cream for an astronaut
            G#
Well that's me looking for weed
Fm
  Turn the corner and
G#                            Cm
  Find the world at your command, playin' the hand.
Yeah

[Chorus]
G#
  You don't know my mind
Fm
  You don't know my kind
Cm                       A#
  Dark necessities are part of my design
G#                       Fm
  Tell the world that I'm  falling from the sky
Cm                       A#
  Dark necessities are part of my design

G# D#
   Do you want this love of mine?
C#
The darkness helps us all to shine
Fm                             G#
Do you want it, do you want it now?
D#
Do you want it all the time?
C#
The darkness helps us all to shine
Fm                             G#
Do you want it, do you want it now?

[Verse 4]
Cm
  Pick you up like a paperback
        G#
With the  track record of a maniac
    Cm
So I  move it and we unpack
         G#
It's the same as yesterday
Fm
  Any way we roll
G#                      Cm
  Everything must go away, ah,
what do you say? Yeah

[Chorus]
G#
  You don't know my mind
