'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,
And everywhere they'd go, they shout,
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 election day.
But the day after is darker,
And darker and darker it goes,
/7M (b5)
Who knows, maybe the plans will change,
Esus9 D6 C4/7(11) C B7 (i can hear bass goes like that)
Who knows, maybe he's not deranged.
The news men know what they know, but they,
Know even less than what they say,
And I don't know who I can trust,
For they come what may.
'cause we believed in our candidate,
But even more it's the one we hate,
I needed someone I could shake,
On election day.
But the day after is darker,
And deeper and deeper we go,
/7M (b5)
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream,
C4/7(11) [C] [B7]
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.
Chords: , , , ,
I love the things that you've given me,
I cherish you my dear country,
But sometimes I don't understand,
The way we play.
I love the things that you've given me,
And most of all that I am free,
To have a song that I can sing,
On election day.

The n[Em]ews men k[B7]now what they k[Em]now, but t[C]hey,

An[Am/F#]d I don't k[B7]now who[Ebdim] I can [C#dim]trust,
For they c[C]ome what [B7]may. [Gaug]
'cause [Em]we bel[B7]ieved in our [Em]candid[C]ate,
But [Em]even m[B7]ore it's the [Em]one we h[G]ate,
I [Am/F#]needed s[B7]omeone[Ebdim] I could [C#dim]shake,
On e[C]lec[B7]tion [Em]day.
But the d[D]ay a[Am]fter is d[G]arker,

Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.
