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


Refrain 1: old song DEVIL ON MY SHOULDER vibe here haha
        Gm           Dm
Well at first you're fine 
     Gm          Dm
with working overtime
   Gm       Dm
10 years go by til you're 
A
caught up in the grind
            Gm       Dm
And can't escape the fact 
     Gm              Dm
your youth is fading fast
      Gm          Dm
These times won't last 
                 Bb7
and once they're gone 
                A
they don't come back


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Verse 2:
Dm
  They try to fill you
       Dm
with anxiety until 
you bite the hook
Dm
  They drop a line
       Dm

                    Dm
got a big chequebook

with their simple
frame of mind

And can't escape the fact 
     Gm              Dm
your youth is fading fast
