[E9] [A6] [E9] [A6] [A] [A9]
In the dark, it's just you and I;
[A9] [D9] [D6] [Dm7] [Dm6]
Not a sound, there's not one sigh,
[A] [C#m7-5] [Cdim] [Cdim] [E] [A] [F#m] [F7] [E7]
Just the beat of my poor heart in the dark.
[E9] [A6] [E9] [A6] [A] [A9]
In the dark, in the dark, I get such a thrill
[A9] [D9] [D6] [Dm] [Dm7] [Dm6]
When he presses his fingertips upon my lips,
[A] [C#m7-5] [Cdim] [Cdim] [E] [A] [D9] [A] [A7]
And he begs me to please keep still in the dark.
Bridge
[D9] [D9] alt [Dm] [Dm7] [A]
But soon, this dance will be endin'
[F] [Bb9] [A] [A7]
And you're gonna be missed
[D9] [D9] alt [Dm] [Dm7]
Gee, I'm not pretendin'
[A] [F#m] [F] [Bb9] [E7]
'Cause I swear it's fun, fun to be kissed.
[E9] [A6] [E9] [A6] [A] [A9]
In the dark, now we will find
[A9] [D9] [D6] [Dm7] [Dm6]
What the rest have left behind;
[A] [AM7] [F#7] [D9] [F] [E7]
Just let them dance -- we're gonna find ro-mance,
[E] [A] [F#m] [F] [E7] [A]
In the dark . . . in the dark.
