(Repeat above for following verses)
Walk around in circles to pass away the time
I hear the bell tonin' and I see the mornin' light
Pour myself a drink, but I lost my appetite
I can't sleep at all, 'cause my dreams are all so bad
When I get to thinkin' it's about to drive me mad
See our love dyin' and my eyes begin to burn
My mind is so confused, I don't know which way to turn

Time at last has proved you right, now my dreams are turnin' bad
           C           B     G               C
It's the same thing every night, nowhere to hide,

Nightmare ruin my life
