G B/F# E(m) B You said "Just drink it up" I've got no future I know my days are few The present's not so pleasant Just a lot of things to do I thought the past would last me But the darkness got that too I should have seen it coming It was right behind your eyes You were young and it was summer I just had to take a dive Winning you was easy But the darkness was the prize I don't smoke no cigarette I don't drink no alcohol I ain't had much loving yet But that's always been your call I don't miss it baby I got no taste for anything at all I used to love the rainbow And I used to love the view I love the early morning I pretend that it was new But I caught the darkness, baby And I got it worse than you I caught the darkness It was drinking from your cup I caught the darknes Drinking from your cup I said is this contagious? You said "Just drink it up"
