  			Intro: Em   B7 
       Em   B7 
Em                                         B7 
You thought that you knew where I was and when 
Em                                        B7 
But it looks that I've been fooling you again 
Em                                        B7  
You thought that you'd got me all steaked out 
Em                                      A 
But baby looks like I've been breaking out. 
F      C     G      D                      F#  
I'm a dark horse, running on a dark race course 
F      C    G     D                            F# 
I'm a blue moon, since I stepped out from the womb 
F            C     G    D                F# 
I've been a cool jerk, looking for the source 
F      C     G 
I'm a dark horse. 
Em               B7 
Em               B7 
Em                                   B7 
You thought that you had me in your grip 
Em                              B7 
Baby looks like you was not so smart 
Em                           B7  
And I became so slippery for you 
Em                                   A 
But let me tell you that was nothing new. 
F      C    G 
I'm a dark horse... 
Em                B7 
Em                B7 
Em                              B7 
I thought that you knew it all along 
Em                               B7 
Until you started getting me no right 
Em                              B7 
Seems as if you heard a little late 
Em                                        A 
But I warned you when we both were at the starting gate. 
F      C    G 
I'm a dark horse... 
Em                B7 
Em                B7 
F      C    G   
I'm a dark horse...
