[D] [A] I can't get to sleep,
[C] I think [G] about the implications
[D] Of diving [F#m] in too deep,
[C] and [G] possibly the complications
[D] Especially [F#m] at night, [Cm] I [G] worry over [D] situations
I know we'll [A] be alright, [C] [G] perhaps it's just imagination
[Bm] Day [G] after day it [A] reappears,
[B] night after night my [G] heartbeat shows [A] the fear
[D] [E] Ghosts [F#] appear and [G] fade away
The [A] [D] [A]
[D] flow [F#m] between the sheets [C] only [Em] brings [D] exasperation
Just time [F#m] to walk the streets, [C] [Em] smell the desperation
[D] At least [F#m]
there's pretty lights, [C] [Em] though there's little variation
[D] It [F#m] nullifies the night [C] from [G]
