[Verse 1]
C#m       F#              A
   Half a week before the winter
C#m          F#              A
   The chill bites before it comes
C#m          F#           A
   And I'm a child of the pleasure
C#m        F#               A
   That he brings before he runs

C#m          F#               A
   He sits behind a desk of mahogany
C#m            F#             A
   He whispers dreams into my ear
C#m                F#
   And though I've given him his
A     C#m     F#        A
empire   He delivers me my fear


[Chorus 1]
A        E                C#m
  The unicorns are riding high
A      E               C#m
  Powerful in coats of white

  I turn to look and burn my

eyes I carry on I carry


[Verse 3] Vanessa Plays Piano Very 
Fast
C#m        F#              A
   All the weight of empty promise
C#m           F#               A
   As I stand swallowed by the light
C#m      F#             A
   Flickering above the highway
C#m          F#
   I hold my head and know the
 A
streets are mine tonight


[Chorus 2]
A        E                 C#m
  The vampires are growing tired
A              E                 C#m
  The coats of white all turn to red
A          E            C#m
  My heart burns with desire
A        E          E F#
 I carry on I carry on
