                                         (I got appointments ...)

Verse 1:
        D    A           D
I got appointments, work I have to do
Bm      F#    Bm   Bm7         E
Keeping me so busy all the day through
                        A                        F#m
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you, aaaaaah ...
Bm            A   A     D                            Asus2     D  A :
 Baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it

I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
Bm    F#      Bm     Bm7         E
And I lose my temper ten times a day
                 A                             F#m
Still, it's even worse when the night's on its way
     Bm              Asus2
It's bad, o-o-o-o-oh, so bad


Chorus:
D                        Bm7                        A :
 Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
A                                                       D :
 (If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
D                         Bm7                        A :
 I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
A                                                       D :
 (If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)


Bridge:
D                         Bm7              E
 How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Bm7                    Asus2
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall


Chorus:
D                   Bm7                        A :
 Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
A                                                       D :
 (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
D                       Bm7                        A :
 Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
A                                                       D :
 (If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)

Instrumental:
| D A   D   | D    A A A | D A   D | D    A  A   A |  D    A :
 (instrumental)                          (No one to    turn to ...)


Verse 3:
          D    A       D
No one to turn to, you know how it is
Bm    F#     Bm        Bm7            E
I was not prepared for something like this
               A                          F#m
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
                                          (Aaaaaaah ...)
Bm            A  A      D                            Asus2    D   :
 Baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
                                                    (I got my business ...)


Verse 4:
         D   A            D
I got my business to help me through the day
Bm     F#     Bm        Bm7          E
People I must write to, bills I must pay
                    A                             F#m
But everything's so different when night's on its way
     Bm       Asus2
It's bad, oh, so bad


Chorus:
D                        Bm7                        A :
 Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
A                                                       D :
 (If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
D                         Bm7                        A :
 I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
A                                                       D :
