G         D         Am         C
Baby turn on the light

I wanna see your face
G         D         Am                 C
I don’t trust you out of sight
G                 D                         Am         C
Afraid that you might fall from grace
G         D         Am                 C
where does that leave me

G                 D                 Am                 C
When your broken halo’s on the ground
G                         D                 Am                 C
Or maybe the question here should be
G                 D                 Am                 C
What goes on when the lights go out
G                 F                 C                 D
It’s not that I’m so scared of losing
G                 F                 C                 D
It’s not that I fear a broken heart

G                 F                 C                 D
But I like to see the road I’m choosing
G                 D                 Am         C
I guess I’m afraid of the dark

I guess I’m afraid of the dark
G                 D                 Am                 C
You come and go like a desert breeze
G         D                 Am         C
I swore I’d never let you in

G                 D                 Am                 C
You kick down my wall any time you please
G         D         Am         C
Just to build it up again
G         D          Am                 C
How can you love so carelessly
G         D         Am                 C
How can you be so willing
G         D         Am                 C
Then you lay here silently

G                 D         Am                 C
Making pictures on the ceiling
G         F                 C                 D
It’s not that I’m so scared of losing
G                 F                 C                 D
It’s not that I fear a broken heart
G                 F                 C                 D
But I like to see the road I’m choosing
G         D         Am                 C
I guess I’m afraid of the dark
G         D                 Am         C
I guess I’m afraid of the dark
G D Am C
Oo yea yea
G         D         Am         C         G
You keep me afraid of the dark.

The backbone of the song is G – D – Am – C (I – V – ii – IV in G major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – reh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
