Verse
G
when i drew the curtain to let the light in
Em
the night had come, just imagine
Am
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
Em
my head hurt and i didn't know why
Am
i turned around and you were there
D G
asleep, unstirred, unaware
[Chorus]
Am
their eyes are small but their looks are deep
G
i hear them call when i'm trying to sleep
Em
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
Em
so i pressed “play” and turned off the light
Am
giving way to blue moonbeams
D
that turned the music into screams
G
among the bugs and monsters
Em
lurking in dark corners
Am
there must have been a fairy
D G
but still it scared me
[Chorus]
Am
their eyes are small but their looks are deep
G
i hear them call when i'm trying to sleep
Em
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
Em
a stranger in my own home
Am
i kicked two ashtrays and three socks
D
trying to find the fuse box
G
when i made it back to the bed
Em
they were all inside my head
Am
i tried to close my eyes in vain
D G
soon the sun would rise again
[Chorus]
Am
their eyes are small but their looks are deep
G
i hear them call when i'm trying to sleep
Em
they creep and crawl and fall and leap
D G
i'm a grown up and all but it makes me wanna weep
