Verse:
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Dadd11      Dadd11/C#
 I can't get to sleep
C          C/B
 I think about the implications
Dadd11       Dadd11/C#
 Of diving in too deep
C         C/B
 And possibly the complications
Dadd11     Dadd11/C#
 Especially at night
C       C/B
 I worry over situations
Dadd11      Dadd11/C#
 I know will be alright
C           C/B
 Perhaps its just my imagination


Chorus:

Dadd11/B         Asus4 A
  Day after day it reappears
Dadd11/B             A9sus4  A7
  Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Bsus4/F# F#7       G5
 Ghosts appear and fade away
Asus4     A


Verse:

Dadd11       Dadd11/C#
 Alone between the sheets
C       C/B
 Only brings exasperation
Dadd11         Dadd11/C#
 It's time to walk the streets
C      C/B
 Smell the desperation
Dadd11          Dadd11/C#
 At least there's pretty lights
C              C/B
 And though there's little variation
Dadd11       Dadd11/C#
 It nullifies the night
C     C/B
 from overkill


Chorus:

Dadd11/B        Asus4 A
 Day after day it reappears
Dadd11/B             A9sus4  A7
 Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Bsus4/F# F#7       G5
 Ghosts appear and fade away
Asus4     A

Verse:

Dadd11        Dadd11/C#
 I can't get to sleep
C         C/B
 I think about the implications
Dadd11         Dadd11/C#
 Of diving in too deep
C         C/B
 And possibly the complications
Dadd11       Dadd11/C#
 Especially at night
C       C/B
 I worry over situations
Dadd11        Dadd11/C#
 I know will be alright
C       C/B
 It's just overkill


Chorus:

Dadd11/B          Asus4 A
 Day after day it reappears
Dadd11/B             A9sus4  A7
 Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Bsus4/F# F#7       G5
 Ghosts appear and fade away
Bsus4/F# F#7       G5
 Ghosts appear and fade away
Bsus4/F# F#7       G5
 Ghosts appear and fade away
