Verse 1:
D MajorD         C majorC       G+G        D MajorD
I was committed to life and then commuted to the outskirts
       G+G      A augmentedA
With all the love in the world
D MajorD         C majorC      G+G
Living for thirty minutes at a time
    A augmentedA
With a break in the middle for adverts
D MajorD          C majorC         G+G   D MajorD
But it's a wonderful world within these cinema walls
         G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Where a shower of affection becomes Niagara Falls
    C majorC       G+G     A augmentedA
And you wish she could step down from the screen
To your seat in the stalls

Chorus:
F# minorF#m           G+G           F# minorF#m
'Cause if stars are only painted on the ceiling above
         A augmentedA           G+G
Then who can you turn to and who do you love?
       E minorEm        A augmentedA
I want to get out while I still can
         D MajorD
I want to be like Harry Houdini
A#A#          D MajorD
Now I'm the invisible man

Bridge:
G minorGm            D#D#        G#G#
My head is spinning round faster and faster
G minorGm         D#D#       G#G#
Here I stand on the edge of disaster
D#D# A#A#                          A augmentedA
I'm shattered like a piece of crystal porcelain or alabaster

Break:

F# minorF#m           G+G           F# minorF#m
'Cause if stars are only painted on the ceiling above
         A augmentedA           G+G
Then who can you turn to and who do you love?
       E minorEm        D MajorD
I want to get out while I still can

Verse 2:
D MajorD          C majorC    G+G        D MajorD
Crowds surround loudspeakers hanging from the lampposts
     G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD
Listening to the murder mystery
      C majorC    G+G        A augmentedA
Meanwhile someone's hiding in the classroom
Forging the books of history
D MajorD          C majorC     G+G       D MajorD
Never mind there’s a good film showing tonight
           G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Where they hang everybody who can read and write
       C majorC   G+G   A augmentedA
Oh that could never happen here
But then again it might

Chorus:
F# minorF#m           G+G           F# minorF#m
'Cause if stars are only painted on the ceiling above
         A augmentedA           G+G
Then who can you turn to and who do you love?
       E minorEm        A augmentedA
I want to get out while I still can
         D MajorD
I want to be like Harry Houdini
A#A#          D MajorD
Now I'm the invisible man
A#A#
Now I'm the invisible man
Now I'm the invisible man
           D MajorD
Now I'm the invisible man
       A augmentedA    D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
And you won't see me
