It’s close to mid night, and (C#m7)some thin’ e vil’s lurk in’ in the dark.

You start to freeze

as hor ror looks you right be tween the eyes.

You’re pa ra lyzed.

’Cause this is (C#m)thrill (E)er,

(C#m7)thrill er night.

And (F#7)no one’s gon na save you from the beast a bout to strike.

You know, it’s (C#m)thrill (E)er,

You’re (F#7)fight ing for your life in side a kill er thrill er to (C#m7)night,
