VERSE
(you can play the second part of the intro in the verse and when the Fm comes just insert it in there)
Cm
Coming out to the light of day
       Ab
We got many moons than a deeper place
     Cm
So I keep an eye on the shadows smile
   Ab
To see what it has to say
Fm
You and I both know
Ab                   Cm
Everything must go away
                  Cm
Oh what do you say?
Cm
Spinning off, head is on my heart
          Ab
It's like a bit of light and a touch of dark
        Cm
You got sneak attacked from the zodiac
      Ab
But I see your eyes spark
Fm
Keep the breeze and go
Ab                    Cm
Blow by blow and go away
                 Cm
Oh what do you say?
 
CHORUS
(like the first part of the intro)
Ab
You don't know my mind
Fm
You don't know my kind
Cm                   Bb
Dark necessities are part of my design
Ab                      Fm
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Cm                   Bb
Dark necessities are part of my design
 
VERSE
Cm
Stumble down to the parking lot
        Ab
You got no time for the afterthought
             Cm
They're like ice cream for an astronaut
            Ab
Well that's me looking for weed
Fm
Turn the corner and
Ab                           Cm
Find the world and show command
            Cm
Playing the hand
 
CHORUS
Ab
You don't know my mind
Fm
You don't know my kind
Cm                   Bb
Dark necessities are part of my design
Ab                      Fm
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Cm                   Bb
Dark necessities are part of my design
 
[C-part]
Eb - Db - Fm - Ab
 
Eb
Do you want this love of mine?
    Db
The darkness helps to sort the shine
Fm                             Ab
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Eb
Do you want it overtime?
    Db
The darkness helps to sort the shine
Fm                             Bb
Do you want it, do you want it now?
 
VERSE
Cm
Pick you up like a paperback
         Ab
With the track record of a maniac
       Cm
So I'm moving in and we unpack
         Cm
It's the same as yesterday
Fm
Honey where we roll
Ab                   Cm
Everything must go away
                 Cm
Oh what do you say?
 
CHORUS
Ab
You don't know my mind
Fm
You don't know my kind
Cm                   Bb
Dark necessities are part of my design
Ab                      Fm
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Cm                   Bb
Dark necessities are part of my design
