[Intro]
[Am7] [D7] [Eaug] [Am] [C] [C] [D] [Am]
[Am7] [D7] [x2]
[Verse1]
It's close to [Am7]midnight, and something evil's, lurking in the dark[D7]dark.
Under the [Am7]moonlight, you see a sight, that almost stops your heart.
You try to [D7]scream, but terror takes the sound, before you[Am7]you make it.
You start to [D7]freeze, as horror looks you right between the[Am7]the eyes;
You're para-[Em]para-lyzed.
[Chorus1]
'Cos this is; [Am]Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
And [D7]no one's gonna save you from the[Dm7]the beast about to strike.
You know it's; [Am]Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
You're [D7]fighting for your life, inside a[F7]a killer,[D7]killer, Thriller, [(Am7)]to-night.
[Interlude]
[Am7]
[Verse2]
You hear the [Am7]door slam, and realise there's nowhere left to run[D7]run.
You feel the [Am7]cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
You close your [D7]eyes, and hope that this is just imagi[Am7]imagi-nation.
But all the [D7]while, you hear the creature creepin' up be[Am7]be-hind;
You're out of [Em]time.
[Chorus2]
'Cos this is; [Am]Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
There [D7]ain't no second chance to kill the[Dm7]the thing with forty eyes, girl.
[Am] Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
You're [D7]fighting for your life, inside a[F7] killer,[D7] Thriller[Am7], to-night.
[Bridge1]
[D7] Night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their[Fmaj7]their masquerade[G]masquerade.
[Am7] There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien, this[Em7b5]this time;
[Fmaj7] This is the end of your [E7sus4]life. [E7]
[Verse3]
[Am7] They're out to get you; there's demons closing in on every side[D7]side.
They will pos-[Am7]pos-sess you; unless you change the number on your dial.
Now is the [D7]time, for you and I to cuddle close to[Am7]to-gether.
All through the [D7]night, I'll save you from the terror on the[Am7]the screen;
I'll make you [Em]see...
[Chorus3]
That this is; [Am]Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
'Cos [D7]I can thrill you more than any[Dm7]any ghost would dare try.
[Am] Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
So [D7]let me hold you tight, and share a[F7]a killer,
[D7] Diller,[F/G] chiller[Am7], Thriller here t[C]o-night.
[Chorus4]
That this is; [Am]Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
'Cos [D7]I can thrill you more than any[Dm7]any ghost would dare try.
[Am] Thril[C]-ler,[C] Thril[D]-le[Am]r Night;
So [D7]let me hold you tight, and share a[F7] killer,[D7] thrille[(Am7)]r, ow!
[Break]
[Am7] ...I'm gonna thrill you tonight.

[Spoken]
[Am7] Darkness[F] falls across the land[G], the midnight hour is[D*] close at hand.
[Am7] Creatures crawl in[F] search of blood[G], to terrorise your[D*] neighbourhood.
[Am7] And whosoever shall be[F] found, without the[G] soul for getting[D*] down,
Must [Am7]stand and face the Hounds of Hell[F] and rot[G] inside a corpse's[D*] shell.
(with Vocal Ad-libs)
[Am7] [F] [G] [D*] [(x3)] [Am7] [F]
The foulest [G]stench is in the air; the [D*]funk of forty thousand[Am7]thousand years,
And grizzy [F]ghouls from every tomb,[G]tomb, are closing in to [D*]seal your doom.
[Am7] And though you fight[F] to stay alive;[G] your body starts to[D*] shiver,
For [Am7]no mere mortal[F] can resist, the[G] evil of The[D*] Thriller
