Verse 1:
Em                       Em
  Well the bloodsucker society
is looking for recruits
Em                         Em
  I took a sip of their sobriety
                          Em
it doesn't taste that good


Refrain 1: old song DEVIL ON MY SHOULDER vibe here haha
        Am           Em
Well at first you're fine 
     Am          Em

B
caught up in the grind
            Am       Em
And can't escape the fact 
     Am              Em
your youth is fading fast
      Am          Em
These times won't last

Oh they'll turn

you blind for a
Am           Em
nickel and a dime
      Am         Em
Don't waste your time

with their simple
frame of mind
            Am       Em
And can't escape the fact 
     Am              Em
your youth is fading fast
      Am          Em
These times won't last

they don't come back
