[Verse 1]
D G/D D G/D
I got appointments, work I have to do
Em/B B Em Em/D A
Keeping me so busy all the day through
D Bm
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
Em 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
Em/D B Em Em/D A
And I lose my temper ten times a day
D Bm
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
Em G
It's bad, oh, so bad
[Chorus]
G Em7 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 Em7 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 Em7 A
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Em7 G/A
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
G Em7 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 Em7 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)

No one to turn to, you know how it is
Em/B B Em Em/D A
I was not prepared for something like this
D Bm
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Em 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
Em/B B Em Em/D A
People I must write to, bills I must pay

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

It's bad, oh, so bad
