_ [D] Overkill as a song, [E] I'd kind of put that up with anything that I've done recently as [B] being
a song that seems to have [D] stood the test of time and I [C#] think it's a pretty strong [F] song.
Back then [B] I was in [Dm] a band and so I had a [D] vehicle for the songs, _ [C#] which you could write a song
on [C#m] Tuesday and playing it on Tuesday night or Wednesday so there was an [B] immediacy about
that process but also _ [C#] I was probably a lot less sure of myself.
I mean [B] [C#] we all still [F#] have
[B] doubts about self-doubts, [C#] it would seem [G#] no matter how old you get.
_ [A] I think that you kind of hit
little _ moments or periods where [B] you kind of seem to hit your stride and some little [E] creative
door opens and you seem [B] to perhaps _
_ [D] _ _ [E] just kind of [C#] hit on ideas for a while.
The [E] more kind of empty
space there is for _ ideas, [D] they germinate and they form.

_ _ [G#] _ _ ghosts appear and _ [A] fade away. _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ How long [B] between the sheets _ [D] _ _ only [A] brings _ exasperation,
[E] _ it's time to [B] walk the streets, _ [D] _ _ smell [A] the _ desperation.
[E] _ _ At least [B] there's pretty lights
[D] _ and all this [A] little variation, _ [E] _ it nullifies [B] the night, _ [D] _ farm _ [A] overkill.
_ [C#m] _ _ Day after day it [B] reappears, _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
night after night my heartbeat [B] _ _
shows the [F#m] fear,

ghosts appear and fade [A] _ _
away.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ Come back another _ day.

[Em] Time to sleep [B] and [D] _ _
think [A] about the implications [E] _ of having [B] it _ _ _ [D] _ and [A] possibly the complications,
[E] _ _ _
_ [B] especially at night.
[D] _ I worry [A] over _ situations [E] that I know will [B] be, _ _ _ [D] _ it's just [A] _ okay.
