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

chorus:
C# minorC#m         BB
Day after day it reappears
C# minorC#m               Bsus4Bsus4  BB
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
G#sus4G#sus4  G#G#       A augmentedA    BB
Ghosts appear and fade away.....

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

chorus:
C# minorC#m         BB
Day after day it reappears
C# minorC#m               Bsus4Bsus4   BB
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
G#sus4G#sus4  G#G#       A augmentedA    BB
Ghosts appear and fade away   come back another day..
