F              G          C                    F
Seconds from pajamas I must first open all the doors
and the windows
               G                C
and invite the vampire in to be one of us.
F            G                  C             F
Then, in the guise of cool air, in the softer hours,
he's there, sitting, talking
       G
in the voice of your mother
C                      F
about leaving one good party for another
                   G
and the night of a thousand missteps
C                 F
and the loss that made him dogged
                          G
or it could have been the doggedness
     C                      F
that caused the loss in the first place, I guess.
                G                                Am          C
I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
F               G                            Am          C
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.

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.
