this is how the body of the song is played. the G string is there as an option which i
use just use two fingers (preferably 1st and 4th). this should be pretty close to the one
the scrubs episode my ovwer kill. Enjoy!

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

Perhaps its just my imagination

Come back anothe---r day
{Solo} played over the verse/Chorus-chords
{verse 2}
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 alright
It's just overkill
{Chorus}
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
