And I know a ga[C]me, [Csus4] two of us c[C]an play, [Csus4]
And there are n[C]o rules, [Csus4] you'd break them a[C]nyway,[Csus4]
When I reach for [Am7]you, and you turn a -[Gsus4] way, [G]
That's murder [C]in the dark,[Csus4] murder [C]in the dark![Csus4]

Did you turn out t[C]he light, [Csus4] so I can't s[C]ee your eyes?[Csus4]
If I can't read yo[C]ur lips, [Csus4] did you think that y[C]ou could hide?[Csus4]
When you don't tell [Am7]the truth, without ever telling[Gsus4] lies, [G]
That's murder i[C]n the dark, [Csus4] murder [C]in the dark![(Csus4)]

And I kn[G]ow, [Gsus4] [G] I n[Am9]ever [Am7]will again, [(A7sus4)][Am7]
And I kn[G]ow, [Gsus4] [G] I k[Am9]now, [Am7][(A7sus4)][Am7]
Oh, I kn[G]ow... [Gsus4] [G] that the [Am7]sun will r[G]ise, the [Am7]sun will f[G]all,
The he[Am7]avens s[G]pin and[Fadd9] fool us a[G]ll!

I thought there'd be a ch[C]ange, [Csus4] I really should ha[C]ve known,[Csus4]
Right before t[C]he dawn, [Csus4] all the party fa - v[C]ours gone,[Csus4]
It's a funny t[Am7]hing, but you can play [Gsus4]alone, [G]
Murder i[C]n the dark, [Csus4] murder i[C]n the dark![(Csus4)]

[C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]

Hoh---oh, oh---------------! Hoh---oh, oh--------------!

And I kn[G]ow, [Gsus4] [G] I n[Am9]ever [Am7]will again, [(A7sus4)][Am7]
And I kn[G]ow, [Gsus4] [G] I k[Am9]now, [Am7][(A7sus4)][Am7]
And I kn[G]ow..[Gsus4]. [G] that the [Am7]sun will r[G]ise, the [Am7]sun will f[G]all,
The he[Am7]avens s[G]pin and[Fadd9] fool us a[G]ll!

And I know a ga[C]me, [Csus4] two of us c[C]an play, [Csus4]
Murder [C]in the dark, [Csus4] murder [C]in the dark,[Csus4]
[C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]

Love hurts-----, love scars-----, love wounds-----, and mars----,

[C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]

Anyone not tough----, or strong e - nough to take a lot of pain-------,

Take a lot of p[C]ain[Csus4]-----, love is like a fl[C]ower,[Csus4]
Holds a lot of ra[C]in,[Csus4] holds a lot of r[C]ain!


(Additional coda that Boo often uses in live performances,
with a strummed build up)

[Csus4] Hey, ay - [C/E]ay----! | [F]/ / / / | [C/G] / / / / | [F/A] / / / / |

Love h[C/E]urts, love hurts! Love hu[F]rts, love hurts!
Love h[C/G]urts, love hurts! Love h[F/A]urts, love hurts!

Love hu[C]rts, love hurts! Love [Csus4]hurts, love hurts!
Love hu[C]rts, love hurts! Love [Csus4]hurts, love hurts![C]
