[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

[Verse 3]
Am                                F
Watching horror films the night before
                         G
Debating witches and folklore
                             Am
The unknown troubles on your mind

Am                          F
 Maybe your mind is playing tricks
                             G
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
                          Am
On dancing shadows from behind

[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 here

[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    Am
I have a phobia that someone's always there
