1st verse:
C G
I can't go to sleep
A# F
I think about the implications
C G
Of diving in too deep
A# F
And possibly the complications
C G
Especially at night
A# F
I worry over situations
C G
I know will be alright
A# F
Perhaps its just my imagination
chorus:
Am G
Day after day it reappears
Am G
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Em F
Ghost appear and fade away

2nd verse:
C G
Alone between the sheets
A# F
Only brings exasperation
C G
It's time to walk the streets
A# F
Smell the... desperation
C G
At least there's pretty lights
A# F
And though there's little variation
C G
It nullifies the night
A# F
from Overkill
chorus:
Am G
Day after day it reappears
Am G
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Em F
Ghost appear and fade away....
F
come back another day
Solo:
3rd verse:
C G
I can't go to sleep
A# F
I think about the implications
C G
Of diving in too deep
A# F
And possibly the complications
C G
Especially at night
A# F
I worry over situations now
C G
I know will be alright
A# F
It's just Overkill
chorus:
Am G
Day after day it reappears
Am G
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Em F
Ghost appear and fade away....
Em F
Ghost appear and fade away....
Em F
Ghost appear and fade away....
