Strumming pattern is a simple chug, but again use video or audio for guidance if needed. Here are the lyrics with the chords in the appropriate places for guidance: I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright Perhaps its just my imagination Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variation It nullifies the night from overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Come back another day (The original version by Men At Work has a solo here but this acoustic version does not) I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright It's just overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away
