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