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

Eb - Db - Fm - Ab
Eb
Do you want this love of mine?

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

You don't know my mind
Fm
You don't know my kind
Cm Bb
Dark necessities are part of my design
