[Verse]

D                D/C#
  I can't get to sleep
C                     C/B
  I think about the implications
D                D/C#
  Of diving in too deep
C                C/B
  And possibly the complications
D               D/C#
  Especially at night
C             C/B
  I worry over situations
D                  D/C#
  I know will be alright
C                    C/B
  Perhaps its just my imagination


[Chorus]

Bm                     Asus4 A
   Day after day it reappears
Bm                                Asus4     A
   Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#       F#7            G
Ghosts appear and fade away
Asus4              A


[Verse]

D                  D/C#
  Alone between the sheets
C                C/B
  Only brings exasperation
D                      D/C#
  It's time to walk the streets
C              C/B
  Smell the, ... desperation
D                        D/C#
  At least there's pretty lights
C                         C/B
  And though there's little variation
D                 D/C#
  It nullifies the night
C          C/B
  from overkill


[Chorus]

Bm                   Asus4 A
  Day after day it reappears
Bm                               Asus4     A
  Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#       F#7            G
Ghosts appear and fade away
Asus4                  A
     Come back another day

Ghosts appear and fade away
