[D]
So when this song, this was about 1970, [B] 1980 or something I [D] think this was.
I [B] tuned both [C] these E's down to a D again and [D] put my finger on this chord and stumbled upon just going,
oh,
[F#m] [D] oh, oh, that's good.
[F#m] And then just doing the same thing, oh, [C] [Em] oh.
[D]
So, I [A] can get to sleep, [C]
I [Em] think about the implications,
[D] of diving [A] in too deep, [C] [G] possibly the complications,
[D] [A] especially at night,
[C] I [G] worry over [D] situations,
I know we'll [A] be alright, [C]
[G] perhaps it's just imagination,
[Bm] day after day, we [A] are beers,
[Bm] night after night, my [A] heartbeat,
shows the fear, [E]
ghosts appear and [G] fade away,
[A]
[D] [F#m] the road between the [C] sheets, [Em] only brings [D] exasperation,
stop to walk the streets, [C] [Em] smell the desperation,
[D] at least [F#m] there's pretty lights, [C] though [Em] there's little variation,
[D]
[F#m] it nullifies the night, [C]
[Em] from [Bm] overkill,
day after day, [A] we are beers,
[G] night after night, my [A] heartbeat,
shows the fear, [E]
[F#] ghosts appear [G] and fade away.

[E] ghosts appear and fade away,
[F#] ghosts appear and fade [G] away.
