[Intro]

Dm Bb A

[Verse 1]

One step at a time

Bb A

I'm going outta my mind

Dm Bb A

I'm being hunted by something primal

They're just simple machines

Bb A

Yet tainted souls they seem

Dm Bb A

For five nights I'll fear for my survival

Are they mechanical

Bb A

They hunt like animals

Dm Bb A

Freezing for seconds while I see their corpses

I'm getting panicked now

Bb A

I'm locking this place down

Dm Bb A

I'm feeling watched by unnatural forces

[Chorus]

Dm Bb A

Looks like I'd better run for my life

Dm Bb A

I'll never be in one piece to see night five

Dm Bb A

I've got eleven on my tail, with no time to think

Of a way to survive

[Verse 2]

Just an hour more

Bb A

I'm closer than before

Dm Bb A

To making it out of this ghastly madhouse

I'm feeling desperate

Bb A

I'm starting to regret

Dm Bb A

Taking my chances with no way out

Who's walking down the hall?

Bb A

I can't keep track of them all

Dm Bb A

A music box plays my dying song

This is my one escape

Bb A

The mask still on my face

Dm Bb A

But they have known I've been here all along

[Chorus]

Dm Bb A

Looks like I'd better run for my life

Dm Bb A

I'll never be in one piece to see night five

Dm Bb A

I've got eleven on my tail, with no time to think

Of a way to survive

[Bridge]

Dm Bb A

Here, all alone in the darkness

Dm Bb C Dm

Why, can't I escape their soulless eyes

Dm Bb A

It's a lost cause now

Dm Bb C

They've got my scent, and I can't get out

Dm Bb A

Now, I'm afraid to look because

Dm Bb C Dm

They, are just beasts to hunt me down

Bb A Dm Bb C Dm

With no way fight back, the night is already over
