   I can't get to sleep,   I think about the implications

   Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away.       Come back another day


[SOLO played over the VERSE & CHORUS chords]


VERSE:
Alone between the sheets only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights and though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
I can't get to sleep, I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep and possibly the complications
Especially at night, I worry over situations
I know will be all right, it's just overkill


[repeat CHORUS]

F#sus4            F#    G   Asus4  A     
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
