              C#m7
It's close to midnight,
                                      F#7
and something evil's, lurking in the dark.
          C#m7
Under the moonlight, you see a sight,
that almost stops your heart.
           F#7
You try to scream, but terror
                           C#m7
takes the sound, before you make it.
             F#7
You start to freeze, as horror
                            C#m7
looks you right between the eyes;
            G#m
You're paralyzed.

Chorus:
               C#m   E      E  F#  C#m
'Cos this is; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
    F#7
And no one's gonna save you from
    F#m7
the beast about to strike.
                C#m   E     E   F#  C#m
You know it's; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
       F#7
You're fighting for your life,
          A7      F#7        C#m7
inside a killer, Thriller, tonight.

You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination (Girl)
But all the while
You hear a creature creeping up behind
You're out of time

Chorus:
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with 40 eyes, girl
Thriller (Ooh), thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight

F#7
Night creatures call and
                            Amaj7      B
the dead start to walk in their masquerade.
C#m7
 There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien,
     G#m7-5
this time;
Amaj7                    G#7sus4  G#7
 This is the end of your life.

They're out to get you
There's demons closing in on every side (Ooh)
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

Chorus:
That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller (Ooh), thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller, chiller
Thriller, here tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller (Ooh), thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller

C#m7
 ...I'm gonna thrill you tonight.

C#m7      A                     F#sus4            F#
Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.
C#m7                A               F#sus4             F#
Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise your neighbourhood.
C#m7                    A                  F#sus4           F#
And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down,
     C#m7                              A       F#sus4             F#
Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell and rot inside a corpse's shell.

            F#sus4                    F#                     C#m7
The foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years,
            A                      F#sus4          F#
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom.
C#m7                   A             F#sus4               F#
 And though you fight to stay alive; your body starts to shiver,
    C#m7            A              F#sus4        F#
For no mere mortal can resist, the evil of The Thriller
