CAPO: FRET 2

INTRO:  Am  F  C  G       Am  F  C  G
 

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


Am  F  C  G

    Am               F  C                       G
You live in a church      where you sleep with voodoo dolls
        Am                   F             C            G
And you won't give up the search for the ghost in the halls
Am                   F                 C              G
   You wear sandals in the snow when a   smile won't wash away
Am                        F                   C             G
    Can you look out the window without your shadow getting in the way
Dsus2           D        Fadd9
     You're so beautiful        with an edge and a charming
Dsus2    D           Fadd9         G         
      So careful when      I'm in your arms


Am               F       C          G

   And choosing so carefully


             Am             F  C                      G
You woke up screaming aloud       a prayer from your secret god
     Am          F        C              G
To feed off of fears and hold back your tears oh
    Am                F        C            G
You give us a tantrum   and a know it all grin
 Am               F               C          G
   Just when we need one when the evening's thin
Dsus2       D        Fadd9
    You're beautiful       a beautiful fucked up man
Dsus2              D      Fadd9   G 
    You're setting up your razor wire sharp
