Not Dark Yet

C                     F                       C
   Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
C                        F               C
   It's too hot to sleep time is running away
G               F        Am      G     C
   Feel like my soul has turned into steel
G     Am                       G         F               C
      I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
G                    F             Am   G     C
   There's not even room enough to be anywhere
G     Am                  G
           It's not dark yet
F                          C
   but it's gettin' there


[Verse 2]

C                              F                    C
   Well, my sense of humanity ... has gone down the drain
C                                   F                  C
   And every beautiful face I find ...  some kind of pain
G                     F      Am      G         C
   She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
G     Am                G     F               C
     She put down in writing what was in her mind
G                    F         Am     G     C
   I just don't see why...why I should even care
G     Am             G
      It's not dark yet
F                          C
   but it's gettin' there


[Verse 3]
C                             F                       C
   Well, I've been to London ...  I've been to gay Paree
C                           F                   C
   I've followed the river ... and I got to the sea
G               F        G                Am    G     C
   I've been down on the bottom ...this world full of lies
G     Am                       G         F       C
      I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
G                    F          Am    G     C
   Sometimes my burden they're so hard to bear
G     Am            G
      It's not dark yet
F                          C
   but it's gettin' there

[Verse 4]
C                                     F              C
   I was born here and I'll die here ... against my will
C                                   F                          C
   I know it looks like I'm moving ... but I'm only standing still
G                      F              Am   G    C
   Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
G     Am                              G          F                C
       I don't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
G                     F       Am    G     C
   I don't even hear the ... murmur of a prayer

G     Am             G
      It's not dark yet
F                      C
   but it's gettin' there
