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