I've played this over & over again with the recorded song.
It's Dead On!
I use some variations of the chords listed, but this will give you the general
chords in the song, and you can go from there.
Remember, "Bar Chords" are not always the best selection of a chord
on an Acoustic Guitar (try variations).  I hope this helps some people, that's all I'm trying to do.
 
Buckaroo Bonzai'
 
 
[Intro] (Sax Solo)
C#m   B   C#m   B
 
 
E/B             B
I can't get to sleep
D	          A
I think about the implications
E/B		 B
Of diving in too deep
D		 A
And possibly the complications
E/B		B
Especially at night
D	      A
I worry over situations
E/B		B
I know will be alright
D		    A
Perhaps it's just imagination
 
 
C#m	            B
Day after day it reappears
C#m			         Bsus4    B
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
G#sus4   G#		A       B
Ghosts appear and fade away.....
 
 
E/B		   B
Alone between the sheets
D		A
Only brings exasperation
E/B		       B
It's time to walk the streets
D         A
Smell the desperation
E/B		         B
At least there's pretty lights
D		          A
And though there's little variation
E/B		 B
It nullifies the night
D	  A
From overkill...
 
 
C#m	            B
Day after day it reappears
C#m      			Bsus4      B
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away	come back another day..
