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