[Intro]
D#
[Verse 1]
D#
Picture the instant
When it dawns in your mind
C#m
That the things that you wanted
G#m
Were never so kind
D#
How will you react
To this seminal moment?
C#m
To be down like a soldier
G#m B
Left to pick all the fights
[Chorus]
F# C#m
So many nights,
E B
When I’m wound up so tight
F C#m
I just cling to the thoughts
E
That the man who wrote thriller
B F#
Lives in Scarborough
C#m
With his dog,
E B
Getting on with his life
F# C#m
There’s hope in my bones
E
While the man who wrote thriller
B D#
Lives in Scarborough
[Verse 2]
D#
Those several moments
That threaten to
Define your life completely
C#m
They devour like chips
G#m
From a cheap foam cup
On a beach in Whitby
D#
If I ever get majestical
And grow perfunctory eyes
C#m
Just wind in my neck
G#m B
And hope that I will be wise.
[Chorus]
F# C#m
So many nights,
E B
When I’m wound up so tight
F# C#m
I just cling to the thoughts
E
That the man who wrote thriller
B F#
Lives in Scarborough
C#m
With his dog,
E B
Getting on with his life
F# C#m
My emotions will not tire
E
While the man who wrote thriller
B F# C#m
Lives in Scarborough Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh
E
The man who wrote thriller
B F# C#m
Lives in Scarborough Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh
E
The man who wrote thriller
B C# D#
Lives in Scarborough
C#m G#m B
F# A B
Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh
F# C#m
So many nights,
E B
When I’m wound up so tight
F C#m
I just cling to the thoughts
E
That the man who wrote thriller
B F#
Lives in Scarborough
C#m
With his dog,
E B
Getting on with his life
F# C#m
There’s hope in my bones
E
While the man who wrote thriller
B D#
Lives in Scarborough
[Outro]
F# C#m
So daft that I nearly reacted to
E B
The people with the manifold action
F# C#m
Who don’t see life as a body of water
E B
So please bless me with a son or a daughter.
E
While the man who wrote thriller
B F# C#m
Lives in Scarborough
