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