Tabbed by MacD-If you palm mute it well, and in the appropriate places, you'll
find this sounds perfect. At least 1 tab on here that I checked was just made up
stuff, it was ridiculous, it just went from c1-c9 in numerical order-it basicaly
just made up chords. So try out this one instead ;)
D5
I can't get to sleep
C C/B
I think about the implications
D5

C C/B
And possibly the complications
D5
Especially at night
C C/B
I worry over situations that
D5
I know will be alright
C C/B
Perhaps it's just imagination
Chorus:
B5 Asus4 A
Day after day it reappears
B5 Asus4 A
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Fsus2 F Asus4 A
Ghosts appear and fade away

Verse 2
D5
Alone between the sheets
C C/B
only brings exasperation
D5
It's time to walk the streets
C C/B
Smell the Desperation
D5
At least there's pretty lights

And though there's little variation
D5
It nullifies the night
C C/B
From overkill
chorus 2:
B5 Asus4 A
Day after day it reappears
B5 Asus4 A
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Fsus2 F Asus4 A
Ghosts appear and fade away
Asus4 A
Come back another day!
