Verse 1:
C        Am/B      Am       Am/G
Ticking, clocking, way past midnight
F       C/E   D/F#   G
I can't go to sleep
C        Am/B     Am     Am/G
Rolling, yawnin', no one in sight
F          G        C
To hold me dear and deep
C       Am/B    Am       Am/G
Since I left my homeland in white,
F         C/E    D/F#   G
Where I'd rather be,
C      Am/B      Am       Am/G
Stolen daydreams and sleepless nights
    F        G        C
Are all they left for me


Chorus:
F/F  F/E  G/D  G
Help me decide
C    Am/B  Am  Am/G
As I lie awake
F                G       C   Am/B  C  A/C#
Should I pack my bags, today?
F/F  F/E   G/D   G
Help me survive
C       Am/B Am
Make it go away
F     F/E     G/D    G
Make me turn around
    C
And stay

Verse 2:
C       Am/B   Am       Am/G
Walking voodoo thinking of you
F         C/E     D/F#    G
Friends I left behind
C       Am/B      Am       Am/G
Smiling faces, my memory traces
F       G      C
Keep me on the line


Chorus:
F/F  F/E  G/D  G
Help me decide
C    Am/B  Am  Am/G
As I lie awake
F                G       C   Am/B  C  A/C#
Should I pack my bags, today?
F/F  F/E   G/D   G
Help me survive
C       Am/B Am
Make it go away
F     F/E     G/D    G
Make me turn around
    C       Am/B
And stay

Bridge:
Am      Bb         F           G
Burning bright and yet sinking low
       C          G/B
Like a flickering light
     C        G/B
On a winter's night
     Am        Bb        F
Must I keep on traveling alone
               G
When I feel my heart
             C
Turning into stone

Solo:

F       G         C


Chorus:
F/F  F/E  G/D  G
Help me decide
C    Am/B  Am  Am/G
As I lie awake
F                G       C   Am/B  C  A/C#
Should I pack my bags, today?
F/F  F/E   G/D   G
Help me survive
C       Am/B Am
Make it go away
F     F/E     G/D    G
Make me turn around
        C
Make me stay


Album: I'll Always Be There (1993)
Songwriters: Roch Voisine, James Campbell
This song uses a walking bass finger picking pattern throughout. In the chorus the F starts 
walking down from the 4th string, it should be clear from the recording. The chords listed 
might not be exact but they are playable, most important is to get the bass note right.
