VERSE 1
F#m                A          E              A
The snake is in its cage and the monkey's off my back 
F#m               A          E                   A
The rash is in recession and the checkbook's in the black
D                                                E                  
She still comes around though I thought she would be gone
      A                       D
She comes with the darkness and dies with the dawn
       E            F#m
The night's as lonely as the day is long
D                              E
God's ugliest children can find beauty in a song

CHORUS
A                        D
Dying to defy that we are born and bred to lose
     E                    D             A        
It's belted out in bubblegum, bellowed in the blues

VERSE 2
She's got a great big mouth and a cold and shallow heart
She whisper's while I'm sleeping nothing will tear us apart
If I can't get rid of her I guess we'll get along
She comes with the darkness and dies with the dawn
The night's as lonely as the day is long
God's ugliest children can find beauty in a song

VERSE 3
Some say if she don't kill ya she'll only make you strong
Some say she's inspiration for another song                                                 
I'm just glad that she don't hang around all day long                                            
She comes with the darkness and dies with the dawn                               
The night's as lonely as the day is long
God's ugliest children can find beauty in a song
