Key : Em
Capo
[Intro 1]
---------------------
Em | Em7 | Cmaj7 | Bm | Am | Bm | Cmaj7 | Amadd11 

[Intro 2]
---------------------
Em | G | Am | Em 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G Am   Em
    If you are the dealer
I'm out of the game
If you are the healer
             G              Am
It means I'm broken and lame
   Em
If thine is the glory then
Mine must be the shame
You want it darker
G Am
  We kill the flame
Em | G | Am 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Em
Magnified, sanctified
Be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified
G                 Am
In the human frame
  Em
A million candles burning
For the help that never came
                  G Am
You want it darker

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C G  D
   Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord

[Post-Chorus]
---------------------
Em Am F#m7 G Am          Em
                   There's a lover in the story

[Verse 3]
---------------------
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
      G               Am
And a paradox to blame
             Em
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darker
G Am
    We kill the flame

[Verse 4]
---------------------
Em G Am        Em
       They're lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
          G               Am
They were middleclass and tame
             Em
I didn't know  I had permission
To murder and to maim
                  G Am
You want it darker



[Bridge]
---------------------
Em | Am | F#m7 | G | Am 
Em | Am | F#m7 | G | Am 

[Verse 5]
---------------------
Em
Magnified, sanctified
Be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified
G                 Am
In the human frame
  Em
A million candles burning
For the love that never came
You want it darker
G Am
  We kill the flame

[Verse 6]
---------------------
Em G Am   Em
       If you are the dealer
Let me out of the game
If you are the healer
    G              Am
I'm broken and lame
   Em
If thine is the glory
Mine must be the shame
                  G Am
You want it darker

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C G  D
   Hineni, hineni
C G  D
   Hineni, hineni
              Em  Am
I'm ready, my Lord

[Outro]
