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.
