1st verse:
C                G
I can't go to sleep
Bb                 F
I think about the implications
C                G
Of diving in too deep
Bb                  F
And possibly the complications
C              G
Especially at night
Bb             F
I worry over situations
C               G
I know will be alright
Bb                   F
Perhaps its just my imagination

chorus:
Am                     G
Day after day it reappears
Am                              G
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Em                   F
Ghost appear and fade away

2nd verse:
C                  G                 
Alone between the sheets
Bb              F
Only brings exasperation
C                     G
It's time to walk the streets
Bb            F
Smell the... desperation
C                       G
At least there's pretty lights
Bb                         F
And though there's little variation
C                G
It nullifies the night
Bb         F
from Overkill

chorus:
Am                     G
Day after day it reappears
Am                              G
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Em                   F
Ghost appear and fade away....
F
come back another day

3rd verse:
C                G
I can't go to sleep
Bb                 F
I think about the implications
C                G
Of diving in too deep
Bb                  F
And possibly the complications
C              G
Especially at night
Bb             F
I worry over situations now
C               G
I know will be alright
Bb             F
It's just Overkill

chorus:
Am                     G
Day after day it reappears
Am                              G
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Em                   F
Ghost appear and fade away....
Em                   F
Ghost appear and fade away....
Em                   F
Ghost appear and fade away....
