[Chorus]
C Am7 [ G ] Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights G [ C ] (If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it) C Am7 [ G ] I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights G [ C ] (If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)
[Bridge]
C Am7 D How I fear the time when shadows start to fall Am7 Gsus4/D Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
[Chorus]
C Am7 [ G ] Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights G [ C ] (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) C Am7 [ G ] Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights G [ C ] (If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)
