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
