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

INTRO: [Fm] [C#] : [x6]

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

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

BREAK: [Fm] [C#] : [x2]

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

VERSE 4:
"Be [Fm] 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 [Fm] much too late to get away or turn on the light
The [C#] spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

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

BREAK: [Fm] [C#] : [x6]
