[Intro]

Fm C Fm Db C5 Caug Fm

[Verse 1]

Fm C Fm Db

'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,

Fm C Fm Ab

And everywhere they'd go, they'd shout,

Gm7b5 C Em7b5 Dm7b5

And though I covered my eyes I knew,

They'd go away.

But fear's the only thing I saw,

And three days later 'twas clear to all,

That nothing is as scary as elec - tion day.

[Chorus]

Eb/Bb Absus4/Eb Abmaj7

But the day after is darker,

And darker and darker it goes,

Who knows, maybe he's not de - ranged.

[Verse 3]

Fm C Fm Db

The news men know what they know, but they,

Fm C Fm Ab

Know even less than what they say,

Gm7b5 C Em7b5 Dm7b5

And I don't know who I can trust,

Dbmaj7 Caug

For the come what may.

[Verse 4]

'cause we believed in our candidate,

Fm C Fm Ab

But even more it's the one we hate,

I needed someone I could shake,

Dbmaj7 Caug Fm

On elec - tion day.

But the day after is darker,

Gm7b5 C Fm

And deeper and deeper we go,

Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.
