And I know a game, two of us can play,
C Csus4 C Csus4
And there are no rules, you'd break them anyway,
Am7 Gsus4 G
When I reach for you, and you turn a - way,
C Csus4 C Csus4
That's murder in the dark, murder in the dark!
C Csus4 C Csus4
Did you turn out the light, so I can't see your eyes?
C Csus4 C Csus4
If I can't read your lips, did you think that you could hide?
Am7 Gsus4 G
When you don't tell the truth, without ever telling lies,
C Csus4 C (Csus4)
That's murder in the dark, murder in the dark!
G Gsus4 G Am9 Am7 (A7sus4) Am7
And I know, I never will again,
G Gsus4 G Am9 Am7 (A7sus4) Am7
And I know, I know,
G Gsus4 G Am7 G Am7 G
Oh, I know... that the sun will rise, the sun will fall,
Am7 G Fadd9 G
The heavens spin and fool us all!
