Dark Side
By: Eric Church
Drop D Tuning
D
Over there in the shadows, hangin' out in the corner of my mind
G D
Stringing up the gallows, waiting for me to cross that line
A
That man's dangerous as hell, a threat to himself,
G
if he got out there'd be hell to pay.
D A
And that's why, my dark side,
G A D
don't ever see the light of day.
D
I've slowed down on the whiskey, 'cause there always comes a point
G D
When I've had too many, tear down every wall in that joint
A
I've got a wife, I've got a son, that don't know half the stuff I've done,
G
and I pray that's the way that it stays
D A
And that's why, my dark side,
G A D
don't ever see the light of day
Bm A
You can blame it on the rebel raisin'
G D
you can blame it on the South
Bm A
You can blame it on the words
G A
I try to keep here in my mouth
Bm A
It takes a lot to start me up
G A
but once that hammer drops
G
Boy you don't wanna be the one
A
that tries to make me stop
Bm A G G, G G A
D
All you thugs and ugly mugs dealing drugs and making noise
D A
You can kill each other all you want but if you touch my little boy
D
You'll be beggin' for this bullet, it will be the last thing that you see
D C C/B A
Before I let my dark side… Come out to play.
