Colin Hay ~ Overkill - Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
I [A] can get to sleep, [G] I think about the [Dm] implications
of diving [A] in too deep [C] and [G] possibly the complications
[A] especially [F#m] at night, [C] I [G] worry over [Dm] situations
[A] I know we'll be alright, [G] perhaps it's just imagination
[F#] Day after day it [A]
reappears, [Bm] night after night [A] my heartbeat shows the fear
[F#]
Ghosts appear and [G] fade away
The [A] [D]
love [F#m] between the sheets [C] [Em] only brings [D] exasperation
It's time to [F#m] walk the streets, [C]
[Em] smell the desperation
[D] At least [F#m] there's pretty [C] lights, though [Em] there's little [D] variation
It [F#m] nullifies the night [C] [G] from overkill
[B] [G] Day after day it [A]
reappears, [Bm] night after night [G] my heartbeat [A] shows the fear
[E]
[F#] Ghosts appear and [G] fade away, [A] come back another day
