[Verse 1]
     Em   C       G                     G       C   Em
You moved to the city, girl, to make something of yourself
          Em   C       G                  G      C        Em
But them vampires are groping you every night on east and 12th
   Em     C         G         G        C    Em
So every night you carry, a knife and some spray,
   Em     C         G                 G         C     Em
To keep them blood suckers, 'least a four inch blade away,
   G         C     Em
A four inch blade away


[Verse 2]
        Em     C      G                  G       C         Em
So you want to be an artist, well make sure that it makеs sense

Them vampires will take every ounce of the blood

that you can give.
   Em     C        G               G        C    Em
So never let 'em speak, and don't let 'em tell a lie
Em       C      G                       G    C    Em
Let 'em know you’re walking alone to a warm home tonight


[Chorus]
      Em    C    G                   G    C   Em
Them damn, cold vampires, they’re keeping me awake
 Em      C        G             G          C   Em
Tryna’ build an empire on the things that they take

But don’t let em’ steal your soul, boy
     G        C        Em     Em   C        G            G
