[Intro]
Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C#
Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C#
[Verse 1]
Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# I walk through Camden Town in the evening Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# Strolling silently and hardly breathing Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# Footsteps behind me slightly quicker Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# The corner of my eye a shadowy flicker
[Chorus]
Bb Bm I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight Bb Bm Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight Bb C#m Cm I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware Cm Ab G Ab A Bb Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair
[Verse 2]
Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# Tonight my fears are growing worse and worse Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# I feel him brewing up an evil curse Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# I sense a chill creep up my spine, I want to scream but only whine Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# Because I know it can't be true, mind’s gone now legs it’s up to you
[Chorus]
Bb Bm I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight Bb Bm Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight Bb C#m Cm I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware Cm Ab G Ab A Bb Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair
[Middle 8]
Bm F# A Cm I try to accept him as my partner Bm F# A Cm He still makes cold his manic laughter G Eb G Dm But every time I try to turn around he throws my fears Dm C#m Cm Bm And makes no sound he stirs them to the ground
[Verse 4]
Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# Aching muscles, puff and pant I run Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# To stagger home and hide behind my mum Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# But even when I'm safely in my bed Bm Cmaj7 Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F Bm/C# I know that he is waiting in my head
[Chorus]
Bb Bm I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight Bb Bm Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight Bb C#m Cm I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware Cm Ab G Ab A Bb Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair
