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