[Verse]
   C7               
If I have weaknesses
      C7               
Don't let them blind me
   C                        Bb
Or camouflage all I am wary of
C7                    Bb                     
■  I could be sailing on seizures of laughter
C                    C7                Am   C7
Or crawling out from under the heel of love ■ 
   Bb         C                
Do my prayers remain unanswered
Bb                    C     
Like a beggar at your sleeve
Bb                      C     
Olodumare is smiling in heaven
C7                  Am        
Smiling in heaven I do believe


[Chorus]
C7          Bb           C7
■  Reach in the darkness ■ 
               Bb  
A reach in the dark
             C7      
Reach in the darkness
           Bb      
A reach in the dark
C7    Bb          C7             Bb   
■  To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
C7          Bb                  F7   C7   
■  To glide away from the razor or a knife
   Bb          F              Bb   
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy


[Inst]
                F                  Bb   C
To dominate the impossible in your life ■


[Verse]
C7                                C     Bb         
■  Always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable
    C7         C                         Bb  
And fashion is rich people waving at the door
C    C7               Bb          C      
■ Or it's a dealer in drugs or in passion
                 Am                
Lies of a nature we've heard before
C7    Am Bb      C                
■  Do my prayers remain unanswered
Bb                          
Like a beggar at your sleeve
C Bb                             
■ Babaluaye spins on his crutches
C                     
Says Leave if you want
   C7       Am Am7   C7
If you want to leave ■ 


[Chorus]
             C7      
Reach in the darkness
           C7      
A reach in the dark
             C        Bb
Reach in the darkness ■ 
           Bb      
A reach in the dark
   Bb                              
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
                                  C    
To glide away from the razor or a knife
   Bb                              
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
   C                               C7  
To dominate the impossible in your life
C7                   
Reach in the darkness
               Bb  
A reach in the dark
             F       
Reach in the darkness
           C7      
A reach in the dark
   Bb                         C7   
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
C             Bb                     C7  
■ To dominate the impossible in your life


[Outro]
             C7      
Reach in the darkness

A reach in the dark
