Darkness Leonard Cohen
Tuning: C F A# D# G C (standard, two full steps down)
I caught the[E(m)] darkness[/G] [E(m)]
It was drink[E(m)]ing from your cup[/G] [E(m)]
I caught the[A] darkness[/C] [A]
Drin[E(m)]king from your cup[/G] [E(m)]
I said is th[B]is contagious?
[G]You [B/F#]said "Just [E(m)]drink it up"[A] [B]
I've got no future
I know my days are few
The present's not so pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too
instrumental verse
I should have seen it coming
It was right behind your eyes
You were young and it was summer
I just had to take a dive
Winning you was easy
But the darkness was the prize
I don't smoke no cigarette
I don't drink no alcohol
I ain't had much loving yet
But that's always been your call
I don't miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all
I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view
I love the early morning
I pretend that it was new
But I caught the darkness, baby
And I got it worse than you
instrumental verse
I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I caught the darknes
Drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious?
You said "Just drink it up"
