(Verse 1)
E
My baby's scared of the dark.
G# C#
She says the night is full of monsters.
A E
But when I press my body against hers.
A B
I kiss her goodnight and I count to four.
A B E
My baby's not scared of the dark any more.
E
My baby's afraid of fire.
G# C#
She see's visions of flames and intensities*.
A E
But when I call her name it makes her heart beat.
A B
She see's waves of water break'in onto the shore.
A B E
My baby doesn't fear no fire, no more.
E
My baby's scared of thunder.
G# C#
She hates it when there are storms at night.
A E
But when I hold her in my arms real tight.
A B
She goes back to sleep and starts to snore.
A B E
My baby's not scared of thunder anymore.
(Chorus)
A B
And then she's like David**, Come here!
E D# B#
and stay with me, for a minute.
A B E D# B#
Take away my fear and take me where it is quite!
A B E D# CB
David, Come here.....and sing something easy.
A B E
Whisper it in my ear, make my place a safe place.

(Verse 2)
And my baby she's scared of strangers.
Because once she was hit with a baseball bat.
But when i'm with her in her flat.
She doesn't even bother putting a lock on the door.
My baby's not scared of strangers anymore.
And my baby, she doesn't like cars.
Because she thinks they're a nuisance in this town.
But when I drive her around.
She doesn't mind riding shotgun.
My baby thinks that driving......it's fun!
And my baby she's afraid of sharks.
She always thinks she saw a fin.
But when I tell her It's a dolphin!
She comes back swimming faster then an alligator!
My baby's not afraid of sharks anymore.
(Chorus, But repeat the last sentence once)
*I'm not sure what he says here maybe intensities I don't know.
**His name is David so he says it in the song but you can use
whatever name you like.
