E/B             B
I can't get to sleep

D	         A
I think about the implications

E/B		 B
Of diving in too deep

D		A
And possibly the complications

E/B		B
Especially at night

D		A
I worry over situations

E/B		B
I know will be alright

D		A
Perhaps its just my imagination

C#m	B
Day after day it reappears

C#m			A                     B
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

Ab/Ab		    	A      ....B
Ghosts appear and fade away


E/B		B
Alone between the sheets

D		A
Only brings exasperation

E/B			B
It's time to walk the streets

D		A
Smell the desperation


E/B		B
At least there's pretty lights

D		   A
And though there's little variation

E/B		B
It nullifies the night

D	..A
From overkill...


C#m	B
Day after day it reappears


C#m			B
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

Ab/Ab			A	...B
Ghosts appear and fade away	come back another day..

Lead Solo (Follows the same pattern)
