Verse





        The verse has the same chords that the part above, but they're

played with distortion. Hear very carefully the song so you can catch

the rhythm.



Here are the lyrics:



Have you run your fingers down the wall

And have you felt your neck skin crawl

When you're searching for the light

Sometimes when you're scared to take a look

At the corner of the room

You've sensed that something's watching you
