[Verse]

Am
Coming out to the light of day
F
We got many moons that are deep at play
Am
So I keep an eye on the shadow smile
F
To see what it has to say
Dm
You and I both know
F Am
Everything must go away
Am
Ah, what do you say?
Am
Spinning Knot that is on my heart
F
It’s like a bit of light in a touch of dark
Am
You got sneak attack from the zodiac
F
But I see your fire spark
Dm
Eat the breeze and go
F Am
Blow by blow and go away
Am
Oh what do you say?

[Chorus]

F
Yeah, you don’t know my mind
Dm Am
You don’t know my kind
G
Dark necessities are part of my design
F Dm
Tell the world that I’m falling from the sky
Am G
Dark necessities are part of my design

[Verse 2]

Am
Stumble down to the parking lot
F
You got no time for the after thought
Am
They’re like ice cream for an astronaut
F
Well that’s me looking for we
Dm
Turn the corner and…
F Am
Find the world at your command
Am
Playing the hand

[Chorus]

F
Yeah, you don’t know my mind
Dm Am
You don’t know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design

Tell the world that I’m falling from the sky

Dark necessities are part of my design

[Bridge]

C
Do you want this love of mine?
Bb
darkness helps us all to shine
Dm F
Do you want it, do you want it now?
C
Do you want it all the time?
Bb
But darkness helps us all to shine
Dm F
Do you want it, do you want it now?

[Verse 3]

Am
Pick you up like a paper back
F
With the track record of a maniac
Am
So I move it in and we unpack
F
It’s the same as yesterday
Dm
Any way we roll
F Am
Everything must go away
Am
Ah, what do you say?

[Chorus]
F
Yeah, you don’t know my mind
Dm Am
You don’t know my kind
G
Dark necessities are part of my design
F Dm
Tell the world that I’m falling from the sky
Am G
Dark necessities are part of my design
