 Lying on  your back
 In the night  so black
 Dreaming of  sweet love
 Just beneath  above
 There's a light  on in the house
 See the bug  see the mouse
 Hear em fight,  hear em shout
 Hit the lights  and go out
 It's just that time  of the year

Yesterday  the day  got colder
 Passed away got one day older
Now  it seems that everything  is new
 (Then back to E, A etc.)
 Those are all the patterns in the song. The rest is repetition. Enjoy. : )
