ABBA - If It Wasnt For The Nights

Intro chords: D Bm E C#m A (repeat)


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

(CHORUS): (D)Somehow I'd be doin' al(Bm)right if it wasn't for the nights(A)(D) (A) (Bm) (A)
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
(D)I'd have courage left to (Bm)fight if it wasn't for the (A)nights(D) (A) (Bm) (A)
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
(D)How I fear the time when (Bm9)shadows start to fall(E)
(D)Sittin' here alone and (E)starin' at the wall(D)
Even I could see a (Bm)light if it wasn't for the nights(A)(D)
(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
