[Verse 1]
D# G#/D# D# G#/D#
I got appointments, work I have to do
Fm/C C Fm Fm/D# A#
Keeping me so busy all the day through
D# Cm
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
Fm D#
Ohhh baby, I miss you so
G#
I know I'm never gonna make it
A# G#/D# D# G#/D#
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
Fm/D# C Fm Fm/D# A#
And I lose my temper ten times a day
D# Cm
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
Fm G#
It's bad, oh, so bad
[Chorus]
G# Fm7 G#/D#
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
D# G#/D# D#
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
G# Fm7 G#/D#
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
D# G#/D# D#
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
G# Fm7 A#
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Fm7 G#/A#
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
G# Fm7 G#/D#
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
D# G#/D# D#
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
G# Fm7 G#/D#
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
D# G#/D# D#
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

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

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

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