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

INTRO: [Gm] [D#] : [x6]

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

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

BREAK: [Gm] [D#] : [x2]

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

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

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

BREAK: [Gm] [D#] : [x6]
