[Verse 1]
G C/G G C/G
I got appointments, work I have to do
Am/E E Am Am/G D
Keeping me so busy all the day through
G Em
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
Am G
Ohhh baby, I miss you so
C
I know I'm never gonna make it
D C/G G C/G
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
Am/G E Am Am/G D
And I lose my temper ten times a day
G Em
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
Am C
It's bad, oh, so bad
[Chorus]
C Am7 C/G
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
G C/G G
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
C Am7 C/G
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
G C/G G
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
C Am7 D
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Am7 C/D
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
C Am7 C/G
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
G C/G G
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
C Am7 C/G
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
G C/G G
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

[Verse 2]
G C/G G C/G
No one to turn to, you know how it is
Am/E E Am Am/G D
I was not prepared for something like this
G Em
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Am G
Ohhh baby, I feel so bad
C
I know I'm never gonna make it
D C/G G C/G
I got my business to help me through the day
Am/E E Am Am/G D
People I must write to, bills I must pay
G Em
But everything's so different when night's on its way
Am C/D
It's bad, oh, so bad
