E7                                 Dsus2                 E7
She had an horror of rooms she was tired you can't hide beat
E7                                  Dsus2            E7
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
E7                                Dsus2                   E7
She could've been a killer if she didn't walk the way she do, and she do
E7                                 Dsus2         E7
She opened strange doors that we'd never close again
  E                D
She began to wail jealousies scream
 C                     G             E
Waiting at the light know what I mean

Chorus:
B
Scary monsters, super creeps
                  A        E
Keep me running, running scared
B
Scary monsters, super creeps
                  A        E
Keep me running, running scared

She asked me to stay and I stole her room
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise
Well, I love the little girl and I'll love her till the day she dies
She wails Jimmy's guitar sound, jealousy's scream
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean

Chorus
