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

Chorus:
Am        G       F                  C
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don’t see why I should even care

Chorus

Well, I’ve been to London and I’ve been to gay Paris
I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea
I’ve been down to the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain’t lookin' for nothing in anyone’s eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear

Chorus

I was born here, and I’ll die here, against my will
I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer

And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there
