_ [G] [D] Ah, the [Em] lengthening hours and the [C] refinery belching fire [D] into [G] the sky
We do our [D] best [Em] vampire routines [C] as we suck the [D] dying hours [Am] dry
The night is lovely [G] and rose
If [C] I see sunlight hit you [G] I am [D] sure that we'll both [G] decompose
[D] Ah, [G] _ [D] _ [G] _ [D] _ [Em] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] [D] the [Em] fitful sleep and the fire [C] engines that I [D] dream of when I dream
Someday we'll [Em] both wake up for good
[C] I will [D] try hard not to [A] scream
The evening wind will [G] shake the blind _
[C] You're stirring from your slumber
[D] We've got something hateful on our minds
[G] Oh, sing, [D] [Em] sing, sing
For the dying [D] of the day
[G] Sing [D] for the flames [Em] that will rip through here
And the smoke that will [D] carry us away
Yes, sing for the damage [Em] we've done
And the worst things that [D] we'll do
_ [G] [D] Open your mouth [Em] up and sing for me now
And I will sing [D] for you
