Intro - G5 D5 G5 D5 G5 D5 E5 C5 G5 D5 D5

G5       D5           E5
All the lengthening hours in the refinery

C5               D5
Belching fire into the sky

          G5    D5   E5
We do our best vampire routines

      C5              D5
As we suck the dying hours dry

A5                       G5 D5 G5 D5
The night is lovely as a rose

   C5
If I see sunlight hit you

     D5
I am sure that we'll both decompose

G5 D5 G5 D5 G5 D5 E5 C5 G5 D5 D5

G5       D5      E5
All the fitful sleep and the fire engines

C5               D5
That I dream of when I dream

     G5         D5         E5
Some day we'll both wake up for good

C5               D5
I will try hard not to scream

A5                              G5 D5 G5 D5
The evening wind will shake the blinds

       C5
You're stirring from your slumber

          D5
We've got something hateful on our minds

   G5    D5    E5
Oh sing sing sing

        C5            D5
For the dying of the day

G5            D5                E5
Sing for the flames that will rip through here

        C5                     D5
And the smoke that will carry us away

    G5            D5            E5
And sing for the damage we've done

        C5                       D5
And the worse things that we'll do

G5         D5            E5
Open your mouth up and sing for me now

    C5               D5
And I will sing for you
