Intro - G D G D G D Em C G D D7

G       D           EmAll the lengthening hours in the refinery

C               DBelching fire into the sky

          G    D   EmWe do our best vampire routines

      C              D7As we suck the dying hours dry

Am                       G D G DThe night is lovely as a rose

   CIf I see sunlight hit you

     DI am sure that we'll both decompose

G D G D G D Em C G D D7

G       D      EmAll the fitful sleep and the fire engines

C               DThat I dream of when I dream

     G         D         EmSome day we'll both wake up for good

C               D7I will try hard not to scream

Am                              G D G DThe evening wind will shake the blinds

       CYou're stirring from your slumber

          DWe've got something hateful on our minds

   G    D    EmOh sing sing sing

        C            DFor the dying of the day

G            D                EmSing for the flames that will rip through here

        C                     D7And the smoke that will carry us away

    G            D            EmAnd sing for the damage we've done

        C                       DAnd the worse things that we'll do

G         D            EmOpen your mouth up and sing for me now

    C               DAnd I will sing for you
