[Verse 1]
                Em
Well, there's a lot of trees in the woods

                           C7
Maybe among them there's a pair of wild wide eyes

          Em
You never cross my path like you should

                       C7
I must miss you almost every time I go outside

           Em
I hear you sharpen your knife

            C7
You keep me up at night

             Em
You watch me turn off my lights

       B                B7
What a fright, what a delight

                  Em
On Halloween in July

          C7
What a surprise

            Em
Knock on my window

                  B
Did it cross your mind

                       B7
That I might let you inside

                  Em
On Halloween in July?
[Instrumental] Em C7 B B7 [Verse 2]
    Em
The sheriff is coming, the sheriff is here

              C7
He drives his car up and down my street

                    Em
The neighbors don't call on authority for much 'round here

C7
Certainly not the rustling leaves

        G
But she made an exception

           B7
'Cause she had a suspicion

     Em                          C
That something in the forest was wrong

      G
So he checked on up on us

B7
Checked on the chickens

            Em                       C7
He got back in the car and he drove along

               Em
Halloween in July

     Em
It's hit on the highway with my windows down

        C7
Blaring music while I floor it and swerve

              Em
And you could get me right then if you wanted an end

        C7
But you don't seem to have the nerve

           G                          B7
Maybe it's not about nerve it's about how it gets done

          C                              C7
I catch a glimpse of you but when I look back you're gone

             Em
You catch my eye

                     B7
And then you run and hide

   C7           Em
On Halloween in July

              Em
And there's a lot of trees in the woods

                               C7
But I can still feel your eyes on me from way out there

           Em
I face the window to change but then

        C7
I face away from you to put up my hair

              G
You strain to hear my breath

         B7
Over the sound of death

         C                    C7
Over the bats that live in my walls (Oh, I'm so small)

                   C    B7
Footsteps down the hall

                 Em
Halloween in July

         C7
What a delight

       Em
Ask me nicely

                  C7
Did it cross your mind

                     B7
That I might let you inside

                  Em
On Halloween in July?
