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