ABBA - If It Wasnt For The Nights

Intro chords: D Bm E C#m A repeat

VERSE 1 :
A D A D
I got appointments, work I have to do
F#7 Bm Bm7 E
Keepin' me so busy all the day through
A F#m
They're the things that keep me from thinkin' of you
Bm7 A D E
Oh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it
D A D
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
F#7 Bm Bm7 E
And I lose my temper ten times a day
A F#m9
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
Bm D E11
It's bad, oh, so bad

CHORUS :
D Bm A D A Bm A
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 make it
D Bm A D A Bm A
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it
D Bm9 E
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
D E D
Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall

Bm A D
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(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
