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