[Abm]
[Db] [Gb] You [Ab]
create a nightmare.
[Db] Anything can happen.
[Ab] Now you're here so have no fear.
[Ab] Just your friendly guide.
It's a new nightmare.
It's a brand new [Abm] nightmare.
Even though I think [Db] in some [Ab] ways Alice remembers the first [G] nightmare.
I'm shaking in the [D] ice cold shower.
[E] Alice has always gone in a lot of different directions over the 25, [A] 26 albums.
[G] I don't mind going left or right or up or down as long as it stays within Alice's [E] character.
It [A] goes from some glorious opening [C]
right into some song that could only be Alice Cooper,
[D] right into a [F] train wreck, into [A] a Tom Waits type [Ab] of song.
[Eb] That's what baby was.
I had Bob Ezrin who was [Ebm] classically, he was my George Martin, [Db]
classically trained.
[Ebm] One of those guys that can [Bbm] take rock [Db] [Ebm] and give it that next level [Bbm] of acceptability.
Bob created a masterpiece for this.
[Db] He says, you know, it's the 35th anniversary of Nightmare.
[Db]
[Ebm] We started getting to talk, you know, what would [Bbm] Alice's nightmares be now?
And pretty soon we were writing songs.
[Db]
[Ab] Bite Your Face Off [B] is definitely on my tip of the [Gb] hat to the Rolling Stones.
Nobody's [A] ever heard the song.
The audience is [E] singing it by the second [F] chorus.
[Bb]
They can't wait to sing [Eb] that part.
[Bb] It has every element of Brown Sugar or [Eb] Honky Tonk [Bb] Woman.
It's got that hook that it just really [Eb] is the perfect little [Bb] three minute single.
[Eb] Tommy was co [Bb]-engineer and part writer of the new album.
Welcome to my nightmare.
And he played so good I said, you got to be in the band.
So I stole them from Bob Ezrin.
Bob is [B] pissed.
I get an email from him every day.
[Db] Where's Tommy?
[Ebm] We opened for [A] the Stones a couple [Eb] of years ago.
And he [Db] comes up and he [Bb] goes, Vinnie, Vinnie, Vinnie,
how long has [B] it been since you've been free?
I said, well, 20, 30 [Bb] years.
He goes, ah, [A] makes the question, why?
[E] I [A]
[G] just want to give [D] you something to [Dm] remember me [A] by.
By the way, this is a coffee [Gb] stirrer that I use [D] to scratch
[Dm] because I don't want to mess up my makeup.
[A] Trick of the trade.
[Gbm] I want to give [Bm] you something.
The world's in a nightmare right [Dm] now.
We've got volcanoes, earthquakes, [Bm] tidal waves.
Every country in the Middle East is in [E] a war.
It's a chaotic world right now.
So I'm kind [A] of saying, here's Alice's nightmare.
[G] It really has nothing to do [D] with any of that.
It's my [A] own private little nightmare.
[D]
I've never had more [B] fun on an album.
I really [E] haven't had more fun.
[N] Thank you for letting me be myself.
