[Verse 1]
                  Bm  A  Gmaj7
What am I so scared of?
                              Bm    A
What's the worst that could happen?
                 Bm  A  Gmaj7
Been awake all night
                   Em  A  A6
Heard the rain tapping


[Verse 2]
                             Bm  A  Gmaj7
If something taps on the window
                         Bm    A
In the middle of the night
            Bm  A  Gmaj7
Just let it in, alright
            Em  A  A6
Just let it in, alright


[Verse 3]
                                      Bm  A  Gmaj7
I couldn't even write about it in my diary
                            Bm    A
Or shape the sound of the words
                           Bm  A  Gmaj7
So I tried sneaking up behind it
                                Em  A  A6
Like the lion sneaks up on the herd


[Verse 4]
                                  Bm  A  Gmaj7
If I just put this pen to this paper
                                     Bm             A
If I just change the labels on the salt and pepper shaker
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
If I just trick myself
                     Em  A  A6
Into pouring it all out


[Verse 5]
                 Bm        A  Gmaj7
Just let it all out, alright
                            Bm    A
Just let it all out
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
                     Em  A  A6


[Verse 6]
                      Bm  A  Gmaj7
If you just say its name
                                 Bm  A
Three times in front of the mirror
                       Bm  A  Gmaj7
Its pale face will appear
                     Em  A  A6
Grinning in the corner


[Verse 7]
                  Bm  A  Gmaj7
And you turn around
                            Bm  A
And you study its particulars
                                Bm       A  Gmaj7
You say: "Is that what I was scared of?"
                 Em  A  A6
Fucking ridiculous


[Verse 8]
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
It's fucking ridiculous
                     Bm  A
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
                     Em  A  A6


[Verse 9]
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
It's all in your head
                     Bm  A
It's all in your head
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
It's all in your head
                     Em  A  A6
It's all in your head


[Verse 10]
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
It's all in your head
                     Bm  A
It's all in your head
                     Bm  A  Gmaj7
It's all in your head
                     Em  A  A6
It's all in your head
