It's close to midnight, and something evil's, lurking in the dark.
          C#m7
Under the moonlight, you see a sight, that almost stops your heart.
           F#7                                            C#m7
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound, before you make it.

You start to freeze, as horror looks you right between the eyes;

You're para-lyzed.

              C#m   E    E     F#  C#m
'Cos this is; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
    F#7                              F#m7
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike.
               C#m   E    E     F#  C#m
You know it's; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
       F#7                              A7      F#7         (C#m7)

You hear the door slam, and realise there's nowhere left to run.
             C#m7
You feel the cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
               F#7                                    C#m7
You close your eyes, and hope that this is just imagi-nation.
            F#7                                         C#m7
But all the while, you hear the creature creepin' up be-hind;
              G#m
You're out of time.

'Cos this is; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
      F#7                                F#m7
There ain't no second chance to kill the thing with forty eyes, girl.
C#m    E    E     F#  C#m
 Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
       F#7                              A7      F#7          C#m7

 Night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their masquerade.
C#m7                                             G#m7b5

 They're out to get you; there's demons closing in on every side.

           F#7                                    C#m7
Now is the time, for you and I to cuddle close to-gether.

All through the night, I'll save you from the terror on the screen;

I'll make you see...

(Spoken):

C#m7      A                     B                     F#*
 Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.
C#m7                A               B                  F#*
 Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise your neighbourhood.
C#m7                    A                  B                F#*
 And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down,
     C#m7                              A       B                 F#*
Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell and rot inside a corpse's shell.

(with Vocal Ad-libs):

C#m7  A, B  F#* (x3), C#m7  A

            B                         F#*                    C#m7
The foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years,
           A                      B                  F#*
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom.
C#m7                  A              B                   F#*
 And though you fight to stay alive; your body starts to shiver,
    C#m7           A               B           F#*
For no mere mortal can resist, the evil of The Thriller...
