D Bb C Bb C D
I am a man who walks alone, and when I'm walking a dark road
Bb C Bb C D
At night or strolling through the park
Bb C F C D
When the light begins to change, I sometimes feel a little strange
Bb C
A little anxious when it's dark.
C Bb C D C
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Bb F C D
I have constant fear that something's always near
Bb C D C
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Bb F C D
I have a phobia that someone's always there
D Bb C Bb C D
Have you run your fingers down the wall, and have you felt your neck skin crawl
Bb C Bb C D
When you're searching for the light?
Bb C F C D
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look, at the corner of the room
Bb C
You've sensed that something's watching you.
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
D Bb C Bb C D
Have you ever been alone at night, thought you heard footsteps behind
Bb C Bb C D
And turned around, and no-one's there?
Bb C F C D
And as you quicken up your pace, you find it hard to look again

Because you're sure there's someone there
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
D Bb C Bb C D
Watching horror films the night before, debating witches and folklore
Bb C Bb C D
The unknown troubles on your mind
Bb C F C D
Maybe your mind is playing tricks, you sense, and suddenly eyes fix
Bb C
On dancing shadows from behind.
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there.
When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone
