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..
