D5              D5      
I can't get to sleep
C5                 C5     C5 C5 C5 C5 [indexfinger-movement* ]         
I think about the implications
D5              D5
Of diving in too deep
C5                C5      C5 C5 C5 C5
And possibly the complications
D5              D5  
Especially at night
C5            C5   C5 C5 C5 C5
I worry over situations
D5              D5 
I know will be alright
C5            C5   
Perhaps it's just imagination


B5                A5     A5  A5 A5 A5 *[hit only the 5th, 4th and 3rd string]
Day after day it reappears
B5                                A5        A5
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
F#5    F#5             G5      A5    A5  A5 A5 A5
Ghosts appear and fade away 


D5                 D5  
Alone between the sheets
C5             C5    C5 C5 C5 C5        
Only brings exasperation
D5                      D5        
It's time to walk the streets 
C5           C5
Smell the desperation
D5                         D5  
At least there's pretty lights
C5                         C5   C5 C5 C5 C5
And though there's little variation
D5                 D5     
It nullifies the night
C5             C5    
From overkill



B5                A5     A5  A5 A5 A5 *
Day after day it reappears
B5                                A5       A5
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
F#5    F#5            G5    G5   A5    A5  
Ghosts appear and fade away,       come back another day


(SOLO) [Verse + Chorus]



D5              D5     
I can't get to sleep
C5                 C5      C5 C5 C5 C5
I think about the implications
D5                 D5   
Of diving in too deep
C5                  C5    C5 C5 C5 C5   
And possibly the complications
D5               D5 
Especially at night
C5             D5   C5 C5 C5 C5
I worry over situations that
D5             D5    
I know will be alright
C5            C5
It's just overkill

B5                A5     A5  A5 A5 A5 *
Day after day it reappears
B5                               A5         A5
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
F#5   F#5           G5      A5    A5  A5 
Ghosts appear and fade away
F#5   F#5           G5      A5    A5  A5 
Ghosts appear and fade away
F#5   F#5           G5 
Ghosts appear and fade a-way
