[Intro 1]
[B][Em][B][Em][C][B][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]'Twas
Halloween and the ghosts [C]were out
[Em]And [B]everywhere they'd [Em]go,
they'd shout
[G]And tho[F#dim]ugh I cov[B]ered my eyes,
[C#dim]I knew
They'd [C]go [Baug]away[B]

[Verse 2]
[Em]But fear's the only thing [C]I saw
And [Em]three days later it was clear to all
[G]That not[F#dim]hing is a[B]s scar[C#dim]y as
elec[C]tion [Baug]day[Em]

[Verse 3]
But the [D]day af[G]ter is darker
[F#dim]And darker [B]and darker [Em]it goes
[F#dim]Who knows, maybe [Em]the plans will change
[F#]Who know[Em]s,
maybe he's [C#dim]not derange[B]d

[Verse 4]
[B]
[Em]The newsmen know what they know,
[C]but they
Know [Em]even less than what they say
[G]And I d[F#dim]on't know[B]
who [D#dim]I can trust[B]
[C#dim]For they come what[C] may[B][Baug]

[Verse 5]
'Cause [Em]we believed i[B]n our ca[Em]ndidate
[C]But eve[Em]n more it's the one we hat[G]e
I [F#dim]needed so[B]meone I could sh[C#dim]ake
On [C]elec[B]tion [Em]day

[Verse 6]
But the [D]day after is [G]darker
[F#dim]And deeper [B]and deeper [Em]we go
Who [D#m]knows,
[F#dim]maybe it's all[G] a d[F#]ream
[D]Who knows if I'll [B]wake up and scream

[Interlude 1]
[Baug][B][Em][B]
[Em][C][Em][B][Em][G][F#dim][B][D#dim][C][B][Em]

[Verse 7]
I [Em]love the things that you've given [C]me
I [Em]cherish you, my dear country
[G]But[F#dim] some tim[B]es I
don't under[D#dim]stand
[C#dim]The way we pl[C]ay[B]

[Verse 8]
I [Em]love the things that you've given [C]me
And [Em]most of all that I [G]am free
To [F#dim]have a so[B]ng that I can sing
[C#dim]On electi[C]on day[B][Em][C#dim]
