Verse
D
when i drew the curtain to let the light in
Bm
the night had come, just imagine
Em
i shuffled my feet to the door
A
on the cold spotless floor
D
the door wouldn't open or i didn't really try
Bm
my head hurt and i didn't know why
Em
i turned around and you were there
A D
asleep, unstirred, unaware
[Chorus]
Em
their eyes are small but their looks are deep
D
i hear them call when i'm trying to sleep
Bm
they creep and crawl and fall and leap
A D
i'm a grown up and all but it makes me wanna weep
[Verse]
(C)
once you were gonna be away overnight
Bm
so i pressed “play” and turned off the light
Em
giving way to blue moonbeams
A
that turned the music into screams
D
among the bugs and monsters
Bm
lurking in dark corners
Em
there must have been a fairy
A D
but still it scared me
[Chorus]
Em
their eyes are small but their looks are deep
D
i hear them call when i'm trying to sleep
Bm
they creep and crawl and fall and leap
A D
i'm a grown up and all but it makes me wanna weep
[Interlude]
[Verse]
D
the light went out and i was alone
Bm
a stranger in my own home
Em
i kicked two ashtrays and three socks
A
trying to find the fuse box
D
when i made it back to the bed
Bm
they were all inside my head
Em
i tried to close my eyes in vain
A D
soon the sun would rise again
[Chorus]
Em
their eyes are small but their looks are deep
D
i hear them call when i'm trying to sleep
Bm
they creep and crawl and fall and leap
A D
i'm a grown up and all but it makes me wanna weep
