Eb
Eb
oh my son, don't be afraid of the dark
                     Ab
it's all in your mind
Eb
no they're not coming to get you at the park

but don't talk to anyone
                                         Ab  Cm
'cause you can never be certain who they are
Ab
when they start to run
                                    Eb
you're not gonna have to run very far


Eb
so pass along
                                   Ab
pass the bar, but don't be so cavalier
Eb
you know all day long, we all work so hard
                             Ab          Cm
but don't be fooled by how insecure you are
Ab
'cause when you start to fall
                                    Eb
you're not gonna have to fall very far

Ab *      Gm                   Fm        Eb
oh that's the way it was always gonna be
Ab *            Gm                Fm     Eb
but what was that supposed to mean
C#                   Cm               Bbm          Ab
now you just sit around and watch the TV every night
C#                       Cm       Bbm               Eb
I don't even think you see the stains on the sheets

Ab Fm Eb C#
oh, it's over (repeat)
