Intro
 Em     Em     Em     Em

Verse
Em
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
                         G             Am
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
                G             Am
You want it darker
           Em                 G      Am
We kill the flame
Em                 G      Am
Pre-Chorus
Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
                G              Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em
A million candles burning for the help that never came
               G              Am
You want it darker

Chorus
C    G     D
OOO      Hineni, hineni
          Em           G      Am
I'm ready, my lord

Em           G      Am

Verse
Em
There's a lover in the story
Em
But the story's still the same
Em
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
           G   Am
You want it darker
          Em       G      Am
We kill the flame

Em                 G      Am

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

Chorus
C    G     D
OOO      Hineni, hineni
        Em            G          Am
I'm ready, my lord
Em                 G      Am
Em                 G      Am
Em                 G      Am

Post-Chorus
Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
                G              Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em
A million candles burning for the love that never came
               G            Am
You want it darker
         Em     G            Am
We kill the flame
Em                 G      Am

Verse
Em
If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
                         G             Am
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
                G             Am
You want it darker

Chorus
C    G     D
OOO      Hineni, hineni
C    G     D
OOO      Hineni, hineni
       Em           G          Am
I'm ready, my lord
Em                 G      Am
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Em                 G      Am

Em                 G      Am
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Em                 G      Am
