So it's Halloween and you feel like dancing

And you feel like shining and you feel like letting loose
C
But what are you gonna be? Babe, you better know
F
And you better plan
C
Better plan all day
[Chorus]
F Eb
Better plan all week, better plan all month
C
Better plan all year
[Verse 2]
C
You're dressed up like a clown putting on your act
F C
It's the only time all year you'll ever admit that
[Chorus 2]
F Eb
I can see your eyes, I can see your brain
C
Baby, nothing's changed
F Eb
I can see your eyes, I can see your brain
C
Baby, nothing's changed
[Bridge]
Bb Eb C
Because you're hiding in a mask
Bb Eb C
You take your fun seriously
Bb Eb C
No, don't blow this year's chance
Bb A C
Tomorrow your mold goes back on
C
After Halloween
C
After Halloween
[Verse 3]
C
You go to work today you'll go to work tomorrow
F
Shitfaced tonight
C
You'll brag about it for months
[Chorus 3]
F Eb
Remember what I did, remember what I was
C
Back on Halloween
[Bridge 2]
F
But what's in-between? Where are your ideas?
Eb
You sit around and dream
C
For next Halloween
[Chorus 4]
F Eb
Why not everyday, are you so afraid?
C
What will people say?
F Eb
Why not everyday, are you so afraid?
C
What will people say after Halloween? after Halloween after Halloween
[Outro]
Bb Eb C
Because your role is planned for you
Bb Eb C
There's nothing you can do
Bb Eb C
But stop and think it through
Bb A C
But what will the boss say to you?
Bb A C
And what will your girlfriend say to you?
Bb A C
And the people out on the street, they might glare at you
Bb A C
And what do you know, you're pretty self-conscious too
Bb A C
So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes
Bb A C
Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed
Bb A C
Why don't you take your social regulations, shove 'em up your ass?
Bb A C
Why don't you take your social regulations, shove 'em up your ass?
Bb A C
Why don't you take your social regulations and shove 'em up your ass
