I am a man who walks alone, and when I'm walking a dark road 

             A#                   C        A#     C     Dm  
At night or strolling through the park

When the lights begin to change, I sometimes feel a little strange  

         A#               C      
A little anxious when it's dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a constant fear that something's always near 
            A#    C                Dm     C 
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark  
         A#          F         C      Dm 
I have a phobia that someone's always there 

Interlude 2:  
( Dm A# C Dm ) x2 


Dm             
Have you run your fingers down the wall 
A# 
And have you felt your neck skin crawl 
C                             Dm 
When you're searching for the light  

Dm 
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look  
A# 
At the corner of the room  
C                                      Dm 
You've sensed that something's watching you  

Dm           A#                  C 
Have you ever been alone at night 
Dm          C                    Dm 
Thought you heard footsteps behind 
              A#               C 
And turned around and no one's there 

Dm           A#                  C 
And as you quicken up your pace 
          F        C          Dm 
You find it hard to look again 
           A#   
Because you're sure there's 
        C 
Someone there

Dm                  A#               C 
Watching horror films the night before

Debating witches and folklore   
        A#                   C  
The unknown troubles on your mind  

Dm                  A#           C  
Maybe your mind is playing tricks  
           F         C            Dm  
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix  
     A#               C  
On dancing shadows from behind

I have a constant fear that something's always near  
            A#    C                Dm     C  
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark  
         A#          F         C      Dm  
I have a phobia that someone's always there

I am the man who walks alone
