[Verse 1]
AHalloween is here with me you Eleft it in this home
F#mStitches on my body, Dclosets full of bones
ABlood that won't stop running cos this Ewound won't ever clot
Like the F#mringing in my ears, that don't Dever seem to stop
AI hear voices from the basement, Escratching on the roof
Seeing F#mvisions of you wasted, Dmumbling to the moon
AConjuring some darkness from the Eshadows in your room
Where I F#msold my hallelujah when I Dlaid my soul in youA  
[Chorus]
Love Eain't nothing morF#me  than black DmagicA  
You better want Ewhat you wish forF#m  
It might Dhappen
[Interlude 1] 
A E F#m D
[Verse 2]
ADay awakes the night and then I Edie for what I've done
As-F#mphyxiating slow below an Dugly setting sun
I Atry to breathe but yellow smoke keeps Eburning up my lungs
I F#mfound the words to say but they just Dblister on my EtongueA  
[Chorus]
Love Eain't nothing more  F#mthan black DmagicA  
You better want Ewhat you wish forF#m  
It might DhappenA  
I Edrank your poisonF#m  
Fell Dunder your spellA  
Love is Ehell and nothing F#mmore than black Dmagic
[Interlude 2] 
 A   E   F#m   Dx2
[Verse 3]
ALove is like a Ebag of drugs it F#mblows out both your Dknees
AInnocence gets Etangled when you F#mhang it on a Dstring
ABoth our eyes were Efoggy glass too F#mhigh to ever Dsee
The Adevil's sleight of Ehand twisting F#mfate with ancient Dink, CosA  
[Chorus]
love Eain't nothing more  F#mthan black DmagicA  
You better want Ewhat you wish forF#m  
It might DhappenA  
I Edrank your poisonF#m  
Fell Dunder your spellA  
Love is Ehell and nothing more  F#mthan black DmagicA  
[Outro]
You better want Ewhat you wish forF#m  
It might Dhappen
