I am a man who walks alone,
Bb

Dm
and when I'm walking a dark road
Bb
C
Bb
C
Dm
at night or strolling through the park
Dm
Bb
C
When the lights begin to change,
Bb

Dm
I sometimes feel a little strange
Bb

a little anxious when it's dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there
Dm
Bb

Have you run your fingers down the wall
Bb
C
Dm
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
Bb
C
Bb
C
Dm
When you're searching for the light
Dm
Bb
C
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
Bb
C
Dm
At the corner of the room
Bb
C
You've sensed that something's watching you

Fear of the dark, Fear of the dark,

Have you ever been alone at night
Bb
C
Dm
Thought you heard footsteps behind
Bb
C
Bb
C
Dm
And turned around and no one's there?
Dm
Bb
C
And as you quicken up your pace
Bb
C
Dm
You find it hard to look again
Bb
C
Because you're sure there's someone there

Watching horror films the night before
Bb
C
Dm
Debating witches and folklore
Bb
C
Bb
C
Dm
The unknown troubles on your mind
Dm
Bb
C
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
Bb
C
Dm
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
Bb
C
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, Fear of the dark,
