Verse 1:
Am D G Em
Have you ever seen a bloody egg
Am D Em G
Glass in hand lying up in bed
Am D G Em

Am D G Em
That’s where all the frightmares go
Am D B7

Am D
Ba ba ba ba ba
Am D
Ba ba ba ba ba

Chorus:
Lullabye to nightmares
Whisper low
In the night where bat wings flow
That’s where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die
Would you like to try
