F#m             A            C#m
I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
 A          F#m        A               C#m          A
What is he doing? What on earth's the plan, has he got one?
F#m         A            C#m
You better give me some pointers
       A           F#m        A           C#m            A
Since you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just the shotgun

I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise but it's true, said, I'm not like you
And I don't want your advice or your praise
Or to move in the ways you do and I never will

Chorus:
Bm A
    'Cause all you people are vampires
Bm A
    And all your stories are stale
Bm A
    And though you pretend to stand by us
Bm A
    I know you're certain we'll fail

I've seen your eyes as they fix on me, full of confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending!
Trying to explain that we're on to a win
If the fee we get in near recoups what we're spending

He said, "I can't believe that you drove all that way
Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya?
You'd have been better to stay round our way"
Thinking about things but not actually doing the things

Chorus:
'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail
'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail


All you people are vampires!
