[E] I can't [B] get to sleep, [D] I think [C#m] about the [E] implications of diving [D#m] in too deep [D] and possibly [C#m] the complications,
[E] especially [B] at night.
[D] I worry [F#m] over [E] situations I know will [B] be [D#m] alright.
[D] Perhaps it's [F#m] just imagination, [C#m] day after day it [B] reappears.
[C#m] Night after night my heartbeat shows [B] the fear [G#] grows to be [A] unfaithful.

[E] Between [B] the sheets [D] only [F#m] brings [E] exasperation.

At least [B] there's pretty lights, [D] though there's [F#m] little variation.

overkill.
