Verse
G Em
Stumble on to the pavement; they're strapped tight to bed

They've got a fetish for sheep, straitjacket sheets
D D/F# G
But I've got Randy Newman in my head

This is no corn-fed day, it's gloomy, blue, and cold
Em/G Am
So let the muggings occur, I feel secure
D
They say that I'm peculiar
[Chorus]
C Em D
And oh I don't know, I don't care
D C
I'll be waiting for you there
Em D
Crave this chill, bathe in black
C
All the ghouls and fiends attack
Em D C
Knees go weak, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
Em D
Praise the night, oh, praise the night
D G
The only time I feel alright
[Verse]
G Em
Under the sun gods stare, I wince and blossom hives
Am
Counting the fractions of day, rotting away
D G
As businessmen just drink away their lives
Em
But when the stars once shy, come bloom and blanket earth
Am
I feel beloved and blessed, quite Byron-esque
D
I need to just get off my chest that, oh
[Chorus]
C Em D
And oh I don't know, I don't care
D C
I'll be waiting for you there
Em D
Crave this chill, bathe in black
C
All the ghouls and fiends attack
Em D C
Eyes erupt, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
Em D
Praise the night, oh, praise the night
D G
The only time I feel alright
[Solo]

G Em Am D
Ooh...
[Chorus]
C Em D
And oh I don't know, I don't care

I'll be waiting for you there

Crave this chill, bathe in black
C
All the ghouls and fiends attack
Em D C
Head combusts, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
Em D
Praise the night, oh, praise the night

The only time I feel alright
