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