I got appointments, work I have to do
Bm/F#     F#        Bm    Bm/A          E
Keeping me so busy all the day through
                                     A                                        F#m

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
D                                   Bm7                                 D/A
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights

How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Bm7                               D/E
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
D                          Bm7                                D/A
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
         A                     D/A                   A
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

No one to turn to, you know how it is
Bm/F#  F#     Bm              Bm/A               E
I was not prepared for something like this
                          A                                     F#m
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss

People I must write to, bills I must pay

But everything's so different when night's on its way
