Verse 1:
D                        Gbm
  Lightning hit the house that I thought was safe
A                     E
  Now I’m buried deep in my mind, no escape
D                   Gbm
  It’s uncomfortable to take another turn
A                       E
  But I’m better off now

Chorus:
              D            Gbm             A         D
Even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine
  D                               Gbm      A               D
I don’t need you to tell me it’ll be okay, I’m no stranger to the pain
            D               Gbm                      A               D
I don’t mind rollin’ in the mud while it rains if it helps me to grow
                 D                  Gbm
Bring on the dark, bring on the hate
                 A
Bring on the pain
                  D
Yeah, I’ll be okay
                     D            Gbm             A         D
‘Cause even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine

Verse 2:
D                   Gbm
  My eyes are blurry, the tide is coming in
A                          E
  I guess I’ll find out now if I can swim,
D                      Gbm
  Sometimes I feel like a stranger in my skin
A                         E
  Strangers, still I’m not

Chorus:
              D            Gbm             A         D
Even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine
  D                               Gbm      A               D
I don’t need you to tell me it’ll be okay, I’m no stranger to the pain
            D               Gbm                      A               D
I don’t mind rollin’ in the mud while it rains if it helps me to grow
                 D                  Gbm
Bring on the dark, bring on the hate
                 A
Bring on the pain
                  D
Yeah, I’ll be okay
                     D            Gbm             A         D
‘Cause even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine
