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

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

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

Chorus:
C#m               B
Day after day it reappears
C#m
Night after night my heartbeat
A         B
shows the fear
G#                    A
Ghosts appear and fade away
B
Come back another day

Verses:
E                B

D                 A
I think about the implications
E                 B

D                A
And possibly the complications

D            A

E              B

D             A
It's just overkill

A         B
