Dominic Fike - Dark

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
D C
(x2)

[Chorus]

D C
I’ll be gone like summer, I’ll be here like rain
D C
Far beyond my expertise where I’ma be that day
D C
When you’re gone like sunburn or you’re here like rain
D C
Far beyond my expertise where I’ma be that day

[Verse 1]

D
There was a movement in the sky this morning
C
The clouds tore open and it started storming on me
D
Looking at the roof in this broke apartment
C
Watch in case the walls start closing on me
D
I used to have an old beat black guitar
C
I used to sleep in all of these trashy cars
D
I used to make the beat and spit the rap in the closet
C
Before anybody cared who the rapper was
D
And now my food got no taste
C
And my room got no space, and my head got so big
D
Don’t remember who you is, dawg
C
Don’t remember when it switched, but

[Chorus]

D C
Yeah, it’s dark out here, you better believe it
D C
Yeah, it’s dark

[Verse 2]

D
I felt a hole in my soul this evening
C
I thought it would be different after I left treatment
D
I stood up to a demon, mama, you should’ve seen it
C
Remember back when Alex had no front teeth?
D
I do, I remember most of it
C
Back before I shed my shell, now I’m a ghost of it
D
Remember back when it was the four of us like ghostbusters?
C
Remember that? I ain’t even know a democrat from a lumberjack

Now it’s mostly politics
D
Now I work on holidays, now I’m worth all kinda things
C
Now kids pin me up in living rooms in they mama’s place
D
Man, I moved out my mama’s place and then I bought my mama place
C
Then I replaced my mama with a white bitch from the Palisades
D C
Then after she broke up with me, I became who my mama hates, I became my dad
D
I would break promises that I would make to my favorite people
C
I’d cheat on my favorite bitch and then I would lie through my teeth

You remember when Alex had no front teeth?

D C

[Outro]

D
I don’t have a good memory
C
(I mean, I do, it’s more like flashbacks) yeah
D C
(That’s what you have? Like, flashes?) Yeah, I have, like, a lot of ’em
D C
They’re very like brief flashes
D
What about babyhood, do you have any babyhood shit in the back of your head?
C
Like, I don’t remember nothing as a toddler
D C
Do you remember, like? No? I figured as much, so you got my memory
D C
What’s your earliest memory? Any? (Uhm)
D
What house do you remember? What’s your first house you remember?
C
‘Cause I don’t even remember (I remember)
D
Well, I remember your first house, house, it was actually an apartment
C
(I remember)
