                     Bm           D
it's hard to tell as daytime
                      Bm             D        
becomes confused with night time.
                   Bm               D
there's just never enough time. 
           E
i'm always tired.
                      Bm        D
it's hard to make the most of
         Bm       D
being so lucky
                   Bm       D
when i feel like a ghost
            E
most of the time.
