Official ABBA Tablature & Sheet Music »
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
(CHORUS)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ABBA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
