CAPO 2  - Men at Work Cargo Album version
No CAPO - Colin Hay Acoustic version from his album Men @ Work
[Verse 1]
D                A
I can't get to sleep
C                 G
I think about the implications
D                A
Of diving in too deep
C                  G
And possibly the complications
D              A
Especially at night
C             G
I worry over situations
D               A
I know will be alright
C                 G
Perhaps it's just imagination
[Chorus]
Bm                     A
Day after day it reappears
Bm                              A
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#sus4   F#           G     A
Ghosts appear and fade away
[Verse 2]
D                  A
Alone between the sheets
C              G
Only brings exasperation
D                     A
It's time to walk the streets
C            G
Smell the... desperation
D                       A
At least there's pretty lights
C                         G
And though there's little variation
D                A
It nullifies the night
C         G
from Overkill
[Chorus]
Bm                     A
Day after day it reappears
Bm                              A
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#sus4   F#           G
Ghosts appear and fade away...
A
  come back another day

[Verse 3]
D                A
I can't get to sleep
C                 G

Of diving in too deep
C                  G
And possibly the complications
D              A
Especially at night
C             G
I worry over situations that
D               A
I know will be alright
C             G
It's just Overkill
[Chorus]
Bm                     A
Day after day it reappears
Bm                              A
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#sus4   F#           G
Ghosts appear and fade away...

Ghosts appear and fade away...

Ghosts appear and fade away...
