EM7 - EM9 - EM6

EM - CM7 - GM6 - EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6

EM - CM7 - GM6 - EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6

EM              CM7
You come out at night
GM6                  EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
That's when the energy comes
EM                CM7
And the dark sides light
GM6               EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
And the vampires roam
EM               CM7
You strut your rasta wear
GM6                EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
And your suicide poem
EM                  CM7         GM6
And a cross from a faith that died
GM6     CM7    Esus  Esus
Before Jesus came
CM7                   EM9 -EM9/G -EM9/F# -EM9
You're building a mystery

EM - CM7 - GM6 - EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6

EM             CM7
You live in a church
GM6                    EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
EM                       CM7
And you won't give up the search
GM6                EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
For the ghost in the halls
EM                   CM7
You wear sandals in the snow
GM6                 EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
When a smile won't wash away
EM                  CM7
And can you look out the window
GM6                       EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
Without your shadow getting in the way

Esus
You're so beautiful
CM7
With an edge and a charm, but
Esus          CM7             EM9 -EM9/G -EM9/F# -EM9
So Careful    when I'm in your arms

EM             CM7
Cause you're working
GM6          EM9 -EM9/G -EM9/F# -EM9
Building a mystery
EM      CM7     GM6     EM9 -EM9/G -EM9/F# -EM9

And choosing so carefully

EM                  CM7
You woke up screaming aloud
GM6                  EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
A prayer from your secret god
EM                CM7
You feed off our fears
GM6                EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
And hold back your tears, oh
EM             CM7
You give us a tantrum
GM6             EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
And a know it all grin
EM             CM7
Just when we need one
GM6           EM9/EM7/EM9/EM6
When the evening's thin

Esus
You're a beautiful
CM7
A beautiful fucked-up man
Esus
