[Verse 1]
Am F
Have you run your fingers down the wall
G
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
Am
When you're searching for the light?
Am F
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
G
At the corner of the room
Am
You've sensed that something's watching you
[Chorus]
F G Am G
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
F C Dm Am
I have constant fear that something's always near
F G Am G
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
F C Dm Am
I have a phobia that someone's always there
[Verse 2]
Am F
Have you ever been alone at night
G
Thought you heard footsteps behind
Am
And turned around and no-one's there?
Am F
And as you quicken up your pace
G
You find it hard to look again
Am
Because you're sure there's someone there
[Chorus]
F G Am G
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
F C Dm Am
I have constant fear that something's always near
F G Am G
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
F C Dm Am
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Am F
Watching horror films the night before

Maybe your mind is playing tricks

You sense, and suddenly eyes fix

On dancing shadows from behind
