TABBED BY: Ross Guertin (ross_guertin@yahoo.ca)
TUNING: EADGBe
[F]Seconds from pa[G]jamas I mus[C]t first open all the [F]doors
and the windows
and invite the [G]vampire in to be [C]one of us.
[F]Then, in the [G]guise of cool air, [C]in the softer [F]hours,
he's there, sitting, talking
in the [G]voice of your mother
[C]about leaving one good [F]party for another
and the night of a [G]thousand missteps
[C]and the loss that [F]made him dogged
or it could have been the [G]doggedness
that [C]caused the loss in the [F]first place, I guess.
I'm discovering [G]uses for you I thought I'd never [Am]find.[C]
[F]I could've made [G]chancellor without you on my [Am]mind.[C]
[F] [G] [C] [F]
Crazy daisies and wooden stars,
the threat of oxygen on Mars,
marching armies in the night
smiling strangers riding by on bikes.
Children smoking, sloganeers on mics,
just a few things most vampires don't like.
I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
Before the dawning's first light
I must first close up all the doors and the windows
and try to trap that cool air to be one with us.
I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
