[Verse 1]
BmNow the sky is growing Adim
Muted colors fading Gin
Now there’s nothing but the Gbsilence
BmAnd the moon is shining Abright
on the whole world in black and Gwhite
wind is raging but it’s Gbquiet
[Pre-Chorus]
BEverybody’s Emheaded home
Bto turn out the Gblights
AbmAnd I used to Gbbe afraid of the Edark
I’m not afraid Emof the dark
[Chorus]
BNow my eyes are Ebopen I can’t Eclose them
or Emescape
BBut it’s not the Ebshadows in my Eroom
That keep me Emawake
AbmI used to wonder Bwhat was under my Ebed
DbmBut it was all in my Abmhead
And now the Bworld is smaller than Ebefore
I’m not afraid Emanymore
[Verse 2]
BmStars are shining through the Aglass
Distant flickers of the Gpast
Disappearing in the Gbtwilight
BmLonesome streetlights frame the Aview
Carving shadows far but Gfew
In the empty cold of Gbmidnight
[Pre-Chorus]
BEverybody’s Emsafe and sound
BThey'll dream the night Gbaway
AbmAnd I used to Gbbe afraid of the Edark
I’m not afraid Emof the dark
[Chorus]
BNow my eyes are Ebopen I can’t Eclose them

BBut it’s not the Ebshadows in my Eroom
That keep me Emawake
AbmI used to wonder Bwhat was under my Ebed
DbmBut it was all in my Abmhead
And now the Bworld is smaller than Ebefore
I’m not afraid Emanymore
[Bridge]
AbmNow I miss those nights
Staring at the Esky
Questions filled my mind
There were worlds to Abmfind
AbmBehind the closet door
There was so much Emore
There was so much more
But Gbnot anyGmore
No not Aanymore
[Chorus]
BNow my eyes are Ebopen I can’t Eclose them

[Verse 1]

Bm A

Now the sky is growing dim

Muted colors fading in

Now there’s nothing but the silence

And the moon is shining bright

on the whole world in black and white

wind is raging but it’s quiet

[Pre-Chorus]

B Em

Everybody’s headed home

B Gb

to turn out the lights

Abm Gb E

And I used to be afraid of the dark

I’m not afraid of the dark

[Chorus]

B Eb E

Now my eyes are open I can’t close them

or escape

B Eb E

But it’s not the shadows in my room

That keep me awake

I used to wonder what was under my bed

Dbm Abm

But it was all in my head

B E

And now the world is smaller than before

I’m not afraid anymore

[Verse 2]

Bm A

Stars are shining through the glass

Distant flickers of the past

Disappearing in the twilight

Bm A

Lonesome streetlights frame the view

Carving shadows far but few

In the empty cold of midnight

Everybody’s safe and sound

B Gb

They'll dream the night away

And I used to be afraid of the dark

I’m not afraid of the dark

And now the world is smaller than before

I’m not afraid anymore

There were worlds to find

Behind the closet door

There was so much more

But not anymore

No not anymore

[Chorus]

Now my eyes are open I can’t close them

or escape
