Tom: Em
Em
Well, there's a lot of trees in the woods
C7
Maybe among them there's a pair of wild wide eyes
Em
You never cross my path like you should
C7
I must miss you almost every time I go outside
Em
I hear you sharpen your knife
C7
You keep me up at night
Em
You watch me turn off my lights
B B7
What a fright, what a delight
Em
On Halloween in July
C7
What a surprise
Em
Knock on my window
B
Did it cross your mind
B7
That I might let you inside
Em
On Halloween in July?
[Instrumental]
Em C7 B B7
[Verse 2]
Em
The sheriff is coming, the sheriff is here
C7
He drives his car up and down my street
Em
The neighbors don't call on authority for much 'round here
C7
Certainly not the rustling leaves
G
But she made an exception
B7
'Cause she had a suspicion
Em C
That something in the forest was wrong
G
So he checked on up on us
B7
Checked on the chickens
Em C7
He got back in the car and he drove along
Em
Halloween in July
Em
It's hit on the highway with my windows down
C7
Blaring music while I floor it and swerve
Em
And you could get me right then if you wanted an end
C7
But you don't seem to have the nerve
G B7
Maybe it's not about nerve it's about how it gets done
C C7
I catch a glimpse of you but when I look back you're gone
Em
You catch my eye
B7
And then you run and hide
C7 Em
On Halloween in July
Em
And there's a lot of trees in the woods
C7
But I can still feel your eyes on me from way out there
Em
I face the window to change but then
C7
I face away from you to put up my hair
G
You strain to hear my breath
B7
Over the sound of death
C C7
Over the bats that live in my walls (Oh, I'm so small)
C B7
Footsteps down the hall
Em
Halloween in July
C7
What a delight
Em
Ask me nicely
C7
Did it cross your mind
B7
That I might let you inside
Em
On Halloween in July?
