Key:
C#m B C#m B
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 it's just imagination
C#m B Day after day it reappears
C#m Night after night my heartbeat,
Bsus4 B shows the fear
G#sus4 G# A B Ghosts appear and fade away.....
E/B B Alone between the sheets
Continues after the ad
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 Night after night my heartbeat,
Bsus4 B shows the fear
G#sus4 G# A Ghosts appear and fade away come
B back another day.. [Solo]

G#sus4 G# Ghosts appear and fade
A away.......................
