Key: :[Em] (w: Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson, Roger O'Donnell, Boris Williams) (BPM: 94) IE#3 UK#5 US#23

INTRO: [Em] [C] : [x6]

VERSE 1:
On [Em] candystripe legs, spiderman comes
[C] Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
[Em] Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
[C] Looking for the victim, shivering in bed

VERSE 2:
[Em] Searching out fear, in the gathering gloom
And [C] suddenly A movement in the corner of the room
And there is [Em] nothing I can do, when I realise with fright
That the [C] spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

BREAK: [Em] [C] : [x2]

VERSE 3:
[Em] Quietly he laughs, shaking his head
Creeps [C] closer now, closer to the foot of the bed
And [Em] softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His [C] arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes

VERSE 4:
"Be [Em] still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy
Don't [C] struggle like that, or I will only love you more
For it's [Em] much too late to get away or turn on the light
The [C] spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

BRIDGE:
And I [Am] feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry [C] holes
And I [Am] know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering [C] cold
And the spiderman is always hungry

BREAK: [Em] [C] : [x6]
