The song begins with Jimmy singing and the music comes in on 
the word "bad." Listen to the song for rhythm. 
       Am  
Am I a bad guy? 
        E 
Am I a bad soul? 
        F 
My eyes roll back and 
        E 
My head fell forward 
        Am 
We want the vampires 
         E 
They want the daylight 
         F            E 
Undecided if we will feel it 

Chorus (generally, the rest of the song) 


C                                      Am    
All the lies and fantasies I picked to deny what is right 
                               F 
as the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging 
                 G 
to the legs of a butterfly. 
  C 
We live to see our children die, 
           Am 
turn to the bright to describe what we never will find, 
F                                       G 
I'm a monster singing through the side of a left eye 
          C                  Am 
And I will pay for, and I will pay for, 
      F                      G 
I couldn't have her, I couldn't save her, 
          C                     Am 
If I could grab on, I'd pull the weight, love 
          F                  G 

C                                      Am 
All the lies and fantasies I picked to deny what is right 
                               F                       
as the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging 
                 G 
to the legs of a butterfly, of a butterfly 
  C 
We live to see our children die, 
            Am 
turn to the light to describe what we never will find, 
F                                    G 
I'm a vampire clinging to the sounds for a fast high. 

(hum over 
Am to E 2x 
then hum over 
F to E to Am then finish with F to E ) 

C                                       Am 
All the lies and fantasies I picked to describe what is right 
                               F 
as the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging 
                 G 
to the legs of a butterfly. 
  C 
I live to see our children die, 
            Am 
turn to the bright to describe what we never will find, 
F                                          G 
I'm a monster singing through the side of a left eye.
