[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)

[Verse 2]

   A      D/A  A       D/A

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





[Chorus]

D                    Bm7                          D/A

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

(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)

D                          Bm7                         D/A

Guess my future would look bright 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)
