A                           F#m
Stumble on to the pavement; they're strapped tight to bed
              Bm
They've got a fetish for sheep, straitjacket sheets
    E                        E/G# A
But I've got Randy Newman in my head
                              F#m
This is no corn-fed day, it's gloomy, blue, and cold
     F#m/A Bm
So let the muggings occur, I feel secure
     E
They say that I'm peculiar

[Chorus]
    D          F#m           E
And oh I don't know, I don't care
        E               D
I'll be waiting for you there
           F#m             E
Crave this chill, bathe in black
                                D
All the ghouls and fiends attack
         F#m         E                            D
Knees go weak, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
           F#m                   E
Praise the night, oh, praise the night
         E             A
The only time I feel alright

[Verse]
A                           F#m
Under the sun gods stare, I wince and blossom hives
             Bm
Counting the fractions of day, rotting away
   E                                 A
As businessmen just drink away their lives
                                  F#m
But when the stars once shy, come bloom and blanket earth
         Bm
I feel beloved and blessed, quite Byron-esque
  E
I need to just get off my chest that, oh

[Chorus]
    D          F#m           E
And oh I don't know, I don't care
        E               D
I'll be waiting for you there
           F#m             E
Crave this chill, bathe in black
                                D
All the ghouls and fiends attack
      F#m         E                            D
Eyes erupt, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
           F#m                   E
Praise the night, oh, praise the night
         E             A
The only time I feel alright

[Solo]
A F#m Bm E
A F#m Bm E
Ooh...

[Chorus]
    D          F#m           E
And oh I don't know, I don't care
        E               D
I'll be waiting for you there
           F#m             E
Crave this chill, bathe in black
                                D
All the ghouls and fiends attack
        F#m          E                            D
Head combusts, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
           F#m                   E
Praise the night, oh, praise the night
         E             A
The only time I feel alright
