[Verse 1]
C C4 C C4
And I know a game, two of us can play,
C C4 C C4
And there are no rules, you'd break them anyway,
Am7 G4 G
When I reach for you, and you turn a - way,
C C4 C C4
That's murder in the dark, murder in the dark!
[Verse 2]
C C4 C C4
Did you turn out the light, so I can't see your eyes?
C C4 C C4
If I can't read your lips, did you think that you could hide?
Am7 G4 G
When you don't tell the truth, without ever telling lies,
C C4 C C4
That's murder in the dark, murder in the dark!
[Verse 3]
G G4 G A7sus2 Am7 A7sus4 Am7
And I know, I never will again,

Oh, I know... that the sun will rise, the sun will fall,
Am7 G Fadd9 G
The heavens spin and fool us all!
[Verse 4]
C C4 C C4
I thought there'd be a change, I really should have known,
C C4 C C4
Right before the dawn, all the party fa - vours gone,
Am7 G4 G
It's a funny thing, but you can play a - lone,
C C4 C C4
Murder in the dark, murder in the dark!
C C4 C C4 C C4 C C4
Hoh---oh, oh-----------! Hoh---oh, oh-----------!
[Verse 5]

C C4 C C4
And I know a game, two of us can play,
C C4 C C4
Murder in the dark, murder in the dark,
C C4 C C4 C C4 C C4
Love hurts-----, love scars-----, love wounds-----, and mars----,
C C4 C C4 C C4
Anyone not tough----, or strong e - nough to take a lot of pain------,
C C4 C C4
Take a lot of pain-----, love is like a flower,
C C4 C
Holds a lot of rain, holds a lot of rain!
