Standard Tuning, Capo III


Intro:  G - Em - C9 - D - G

                                G
Think there's a monster in your closet
            C9   G
Even if you lock it
                    C9   G
You think you can't stop it
   D         D/C       G
No matter how hard you try
                G
Well isn't he a sleepy head
                    C9    G
Close your eyes and go to bed
                   C9      G
With good thoughts in your head
             D         D/C   G    (mute)
Tell you why it's gonna be alright


             G                     C9
They're only shadows, they're only shadows
             Em      D  D/C G
They're only shadows in the night


         G
You walk down the street
                 C9        G
A creepy feeling starts to creep
                 C9        G
And suddenly you feel your feet
      D      D/C       G
Movin faster till they fly
         G
You look all around
         C9              G
You look up and you look down
                  C9               G
But still there's nothing you have found
    D      D/C      G    (mute)
And I will tell you why


             G                     C9
They're only shadows, They're only shadows
             Em      D  D/C G
They're only shadows in the night


Am                C                  G
There are lots of things that may go bump in the night
Am             C                   G
But if you use your brain you will be alright
Am 
A scary noise is just the faucet drippin
        C
and the thump, thump, thump is the dog's tail waggin
    Am                                   D
the thing you saw out the corner of your eye
                         G       C9    G
was just a shadow in the night


    C9         G
You can't have shadows
    C9      G
Without the light
      C9             G
No hello without goodbye
   D        D/C      G
No laughter till you cry
            G
that's just part of life
          C9    G
the great compromise
        C9    G
you are truly wise
       D        D/C      G    (mute)
if you see with your own eyes


             G                     C9
They're only shadows, they're only shadows
             Em      D  D/C G
they're only shadows in the night
             G                     C9
they're only shadows, they're only shadows
             Em      D  D/C G
they're only shadows in the night
