Intro: Asus4-A-open

       Bm G D A - Asus4-A

       Bm G D - Dsus4-D A - Asus4-A
 
Bm              G
You come out at night
D                   A - Asus4-A
That's when the energy comes
Bm                G
And the dark sides light
D                A - Asus4-A
And the vampires roam
Bm               G
You strut your rasta wear
D              A - Asus4-A
And your suicide poem
Bm                  G         D
And a cross from a faith that died
        A - Asus4-A   E   -     -
Before Jesus came
G                   A - Asus4-A    Bm-- G - D - Dsus4-D - A - Asus4-A
You're building a mystery
Bm             G
You live in a church
D                     A - Asus4-A
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Bm                       G
And you won't give up the search 
D                 A - Asus4-A
For the ghost in the halls
Bm                   G
You wear sandals in the snow
D                  A - Asus4-A
When a smile won't wash away
Bm                  G
Can you look out the window
D                           A - Asus4-A 
Without your shadow getting in the way
E                
You're so beautiful
G
With an edge and a charm , and
E                G             A - Asus4-A

Bm                  G
You woke up screaming aloud
D                  A - Asus4-A
A prayer from your secret god
Bm                G
You feed off our fears
D                A - Asus4-A
And hold back your tears, oh
Bm             G
You give us a tantrum
D              A - Asus4-A
And a know it all grin
Bm             G
Just when we need one
D            A - Asus4-A
When the evening's thin
E
