If It Wasn't for the Nights

[D]  [Bm]  [E]  [C#m]  [A]

(VERSE 1):  A I got ap D point A ments, work  D I have to do
Keepin'  [F#7] me so  [Bm] busy  [Bm7] all the day through [E]
They're the things that A  keep me from thinkin' of you F
 Bm7 Oh baby, I  A miss you so, I  D know I'm never gonna  E make it
Oh, I'm so  D rest A less, I don't  D care what I say
And I  [F#7] lose my  [Bm] temper  [Bm7] ten times [A] day [E]
Still it's even  A worse when the night's on its way F
It's  [Bm] bad,  [D] oh,  [E11] so bad

(CHORUS):  D Somehow I'd be doin' al Bm right if it wasn't for the nights A  D    A      Bm     A
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
 D I'd have courage left to  Bm fight if it wasn't for the  A nights D     A    Bm     A
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
 D How I fear the time when  Bm9 shadows start to fall E
 D Sittin' here alone and  E starin' at the wall D
Even I could see a  Bm light if it wasn't for the nights A  D
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Somehow I'd be doin' alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

(VERSE 2):No-one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Oh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
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

(CHORUS)
