Overkill (Men at Work/Colin Hay) "acoustic version"
(see chords below)
D D/C# D/C
I can't get to sleep
D/C D/B D
I think about the implications
D D/C# D/C
Of diving in too deep
D/C D/B D
And possibly the complications
D D/C# D/C
Especially at night
D/C D/B
I worry over situations
D D/C# D/C
I know will be alright
D/C D/B
Perhaps it's just imagination
Bm A A(sus) A
Day after day it reappears
Bm A?1 A?2
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
E?1 E?2 G A A(sus) A
Ghosts appear and fade away
D D/C# D/C
Alone between the sheets
D/C D/B D
Only brings exasperation
D D/C# D/C
It's time to walk the streets
D/C D/B
Smell the desperation
D D/C# D/C
At least there's pretty lights
D/C D/B D
And though there's little variation
D D/C# D/C
It nullifies the night
D/C D/B D
From overkill
Bm A A(sus) A
Day after day it reappears
Bm A?1 A?2
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
E?1 E?2 G A A(sus) A
Ghosts appear and fade away, come back another day
