[Verse]
          Em     
I’ve been left out alone like a damn criminal
          C
I’ve been praying for help cause I can’t take it all
        D                Am
I’m not done,   It’s not over.
        Em
Now I’m fighting this war since the day of the fall
        C
And I’m desperately holding on to it all
        D              Am
But I’m lost,   I’m so damn lost

[Pre-Chorus]
                 C            D             Em
Oh I wish it was over,  And I wish you were here
          D           C   D
Still I’m hoping that somehow


[Chorus]
                       Em                      D
‘Cause your soul is on fire     A shot in the dark,
              Bm                            C
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
  D            Em                      D
I breathe underwater    It’s all in my hands
           Bm                              C
What can I do?          Don’t let it fall apart
  D           Em    D                         Bm    C D
A shot in the dark              A shot in the dark


[Verse]
       Em     
In the blink of an eye      I can see through your eyes
       C
As I’m lying awake I’m still hearing the cries
       D                          Am
And it hurts             Hurts me so bad
        Em
And I’m wondering why I still fight in this life
            C
‘Cause I’ve lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife
         D                                Am
And it’s sad                      It’s so damn sad

[Pre-Chorus]
                 C            D             Em
Oh I wish it was over,  And I wish you were here
          D           C   B
Still I’m hoping that somehow


[Chorus]
                       Em                     D
‘Cause your soul is on fire     A shot in the dark,
              Bm                            C
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
  D            Em                      D
I breathe underwater    It’s all in my hands
           Bm                              C
What can I do?          Don’t let it fall apart
  D           Em    D                         Bm    C
A shot in the dark              A shot in the dark
  D           Em    D                         Bm    C
A shot in the dark              A shot in the dark
  D           Em
A shot in the dark

[Bridge]
  C       D       Em
I feel you fading away
  C       D       Em
I feel you fading away
  C       D       Em
I feel you fading away
  C       D       Em
I feel you fading away

              Bm                            C
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
  D            Em                      D

What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
  D            Em                      D
I breathe underwater    It’s all in my hands
           Bm                              C
What can I do?          Don’t let it fall apart

  D           Em    D                         Bm    C
A shot in the dark              A shot in the dark
  D           Em    D                         Bm    C
A shot in the dark              A shot in the dark
  D           Em
A shot in the dark
