(do do   do,do do   do-1....2........3)

Verse 1
Am                F            
You come out at night
C                  G
That's when the energy comes
Am                   F
And the dark sides light
C                   G
And the vampires roam
Am                  F             
You stretch your Astor wear
C                G
And your suicide poem
Am                  F         
And a cross from a faith that died
C        G        D5
Before Jesus came
F                 G
You're building a mystery


Am F C G

(Verse 2)
Am                     F
You live in a church
C                       G
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Am                          F
And you won't give up the search
         C                  G
For the ghost in the halls
Am               F       
You wear sandals in the snow
        C            G
When a smile won't wash away
Am
Can you look out the window
               C             G
Without your shadow getting in the way

(Pre-chorus)
Dsus4     D
You're so beautiful
Fsus2
With an edge and a charmin
Dsus4     D          Fsus2        G

 Holding on   holding it in

C           G
Building a mystery
Am      F      C     G
And choosing so.... carefully

(verse 3)
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god to
feed off of fears
And hold back your tears, oh
You give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening stayed

(pre-chorus)
