E5 - C5 - G5 - E/E5

E5              C5
You come out at night
G5                  E/E5
That's when the energy comes
E5                C5
And the dark sides light
G5               E/E5
And the vampires roam
E5               C5
You strut your rasta wear
G5                E/E5
And your suicide poem
E5                  C5         G5
And a cross from a faith that died
G5     C5    E5  E5
Before Jesus came
C5                   E5  - E5  - E5  - E5
You're building a mystery


E5 - C5 - G5 - E/E5


E5             C5
You live in a church
G5                    E/E5
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
E5                       C5
And you won't give up the search
G5                E/E5
For the ghost in the halls
E5                   C5
You wear sandals in the snow
G5                 E/E5
When a smile won't wash away
E5                  C5
And can you look out the window
G5                       E/E5
Without your shadow getting in the way

E5
You're so beautiful
C5
With an edge and a charm , but
E5          C5             E5  - E5  - E5  - E5
So Careful    when I'm in your arms

E5             C5
Cause you're working
G5          E5  - E5  - E5  - E5

E5     C5      G5     E/E/E5

E5                  C5
You woke up screaming aloud
G5                  E/E5
A prayer from your secret god
E5                C5
You feed off our fears
G5                E/E5
And hold back your tears, oh
E5             C5
You give us a tantrum
G5             E/E5
And a know it all grin
E5             C5
Just when we need one
G5           E/E5
When the evening's thin

E5
You're a beautiful
C5
A beautiful fucked-up man
E5
You're setting up your
C5          E5  - E5  - E5  - E5
