x69990 x47770

C#m  B  C#m  B
verse:
E       E/D#
I can't get to sleep
D         D/C#
I think about the implications
E       E/D#
Of diving in too deep
D         D/C#
And possibly the complications
E       E/D#
Especially at night
D         D/C#
I worry over situations
E       E/D#
I know will be alright
D           D/C#
Perhaps it's just imagination

chorus:
C#m         B
Day after day it reappears
C#m               Bsus4  B
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
G#sus4  G#       A    B
Ghosts appear and fade away.....

verse:
E       E/D#
Alone between the sheets
D         D/C#
Only brings exasperation
E       E/D#
It's time to walk the streets
D      D/C#
Smell the desperation
E       E/D#
At least there's pretty lights
D           D/C#
And though there's little variation
E       E/D#
It nullifies the night
D   D/C#
From overkill...

chorus:
C#m         B
Day after day it reappears
C#m               Bsus4   B
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
G#sus4  G#       A    B
Ghosts appear and fade away   come back another day..
