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
