Intro: Em Em Em Em

Verse:
 Em
If you are the dealer, Iʼm out of the game
                                 G            Am
If you are the healer, it means Iʼm 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
Iʼm ready, my lord

Em G Am

Verse:
 Em
Thereʼs a lover in the story
 Em
But the storyʼs still the same
 Em
Thereʼs a lullaby for suffering
       G           Am
And a paradox to blame
 Em
But itʼs written in the scriptures

And itʼs not some idle claim
               G  Am
You want it darker
              Em G Am
We kill the flame

Em G Am

Verse:
 Em
Theyʼre 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 didnʼt 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
Iʼm ready, my lord

Em G Am x3

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, Iʼm 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
Iʼm ready, my lord
 Em                G     Am
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
 Em                G Am
