	        Intro: A  E  A  E  A  E  F#m  D  A  B4(6)  Bm6 

A       E          F#m 
Ah, the lengthening hours in the refinery 
B4(6)            Bm6 
Belching fire into the sky 
A             E     F#m 
We do our best vampire routines 
B4(6)                Bm6 
As we suck the dying hours dry 

Bm                            A Em A Em 
The night is lovely as a rose 
C 
If I see sunlight hit you 
     B4(6)                Bm6 
I am sure that we'll both decompose 

( A  E  A  E  A  E  F#m  D  A  B4(6)  Bm6 ) 

A       E          F#m 
Ah, the fitful sleep and the fire engines 
B4(6)           Bm6 
That I dream of when I dream 
A          E            F#m 
Someday we'll both wake up for good 
B4(6)           Bm6 
I will try hard not to scream 

Bm                                     A Em A Em 
The evening wind will shake the blinds 
C 
You're stirring from your slumber 
B4(6)                       Bm6 
We've got something hateful on our minds 

A         E     F#m 
Oh, sing, sing, sing 
B4(6)                Bm6 
For the dying of the day 
A             E                F#m 
Sing for the flames that will rip through here 
B4(6)                Bm6 
And the smoke that will carry us away 

A                   E                F#m 
Yeah, sing for the damage we've done 
        B4(6)                     Bm6 
And the worse things that we'll do 
A             E                F#m 
Open your mouth up and sing for me now 
B4(6)                Bm6 
And I will sing for you 

( A  E  A  E  A  E  F#m  D  A  B4(6)  Bm6 ) 
( A  E  A  E  A  E  F#m  D  A  B4(6)  Bm6 ) 
( A  E  A  E  A  E  F#m  D  A B4(6) )
