[Verse 1]
C Am/B Am Am/G
Ticking, clocking, way past midnight
F C/E D/F# G
I can't go to sleep
C Am/B Am Am/G
Rolling, yawnin', no one in sight
F G C
To hold me dear and deep
C Am/B Am Am/G
Since I left my homeland in white,
F C/E D/F# G
Where I'd rather be,
C Am/B Am Am/G
Stolen daydreams and sleepless nights
F G C
Are all they left for me
[Chorus]
F/F F/E G/D G
Help me decide
C Am/B Am Am/G
As I lie awake
F G C Am/B C A/C#
Should I pack my bags, today?
F/F F/E G/D G
Help me survive
C Am/B Am
Make it go away
F F/E G/D G
Make me turn around
C
And stay
[Verse 2]
C Am/B Am Am/G
Walking voodoo thinking of you

Friends I left behind

Smiling faces, my memory traces

Keep me on the line
[Chorus]

Burning bright and yet sinking low

Like a flickering light

On a winter's night

When I feel my heart

Turning into stone

[Album] I'll Always Be There (1993)
[Songwriters] Roch Voisine, James Campbell
This song uses a walking bass finger picking pattern throughout. In the chorus the F starts
walking down from the 4th string, it should be clear from the recording. The chords listed
might not be exact but they are playable, most important is to get the bass note right.
