---------------------------------------

Intro:

Em C/D Em D5 D

G D Em A C G

I don't like this

Anymore than you

In fact I'm scared

C G

At the top of the stairs in the dark

Throw away

All the dreams you had

Slow and broke

And just for you

You were barely there

Hey little girl

Where's your momma gone?

Has she left you scared

C G

At the top of the stairs in the dark

It's too late for come backs

And I've been wrong before

Em A

Now I need, I need no more

C G

Except for you makin' up the sides

It's too late for come backs

And I've been wrong before

Em A

Now I need, I need no more

C G

Except for you makin' up the sides

Evil is

when evil comes

At the top of the stairs

And in the dark

The world won't listen

And it gets this scared

Standing there

C G

At the top of the stairs in the dark

Come on baby

Let's lose this fear

And let's stand here

C G

Where it's always fair and never dark

G Em A C G
