[Verse 1]
   A      D/A A                     D/A
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
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
Bm              A
Ohhh baby, I miss you so
     D
I know I'm never gonna make it
E               D/A A                  D/A
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
Bm/A  F#          Bm        Bm/A          E
And I lose my temper ten times a day
                      A                                             F#m
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
      Bm                D
It's bad, oh, so bad

[Chorus]
D                                 Bm7                                    D/A
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
         A                     D/A                      A
(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
         A                     D/A                     A
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
D                                       Bm7                     E
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)
D                                 Bm7                                   D/A
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
        A                      D/A                     A
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

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
Bm                  A
Ohhh baby, I feel so bad
D
I know I'm never gonna make it
E             D/A A                   D/A
I got my business to help me through the day
Bm/F#  F#        Bm          Bm/A         E
People I must write to, bills I must pay
                                A                                           F#m
But everything's so different when night's on its way
      Bm           D/E
It's bad, oh, so bad

Sitting here alone and staring at the wall

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights

Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
