Capo III
|-0--3-3-0--|
|-0--3-3-0--|
|-0--3-3-0--|
( )
I caught the darkness
( )
It was drinking from your cup
( )
I caught the darkness
or
|-0-0-0-3-3-0--|
( )
Drinking from your cup
I said "Is this contagious?"
You said "Just drink it up"
( )
I got no future
( )
I know my days are few
( )
I know the present's not that pleasant
or
|-0-0-0-3-3-0--|
( )
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too
(break)
( )
I should have seen it coming
( )
It was right behind your eyes
( )
You were young and it was summer
or
|-0-0-0-3-3-0--|
( )
I just had to take a dive
Winning you was easy
But darkness was the prize
( )
I don't smoke no cigarette
( )
I don't drink no alcohol
( )
I ain't had much loving yet
or
|-0-0-0-3-3-0--|
( )
But that's always been your call
Hey, I don't miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all
( )
I used to love the rainbow
( )
And I used to love the view
( )
I loved the early morning
or
|-0-0-0-3-3-0--|
( )
And I'd pretend that it was new
But I caught the darkness, baby
And I got it worse than you
(break)
( )
I caught the darkness
( )
It was drinking from your cup
( )
I caught the darkness
or
|-0-0-0-3-3-0--|
( )
Drinking from your cup
I said "Is this contagious?"
You said "Just drink it up"
