Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Gm A# D# G# D# Gm A# D# G# A# A

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

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

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

Break:
D C D C G D C A

Chorus:
F#m                      G                      F#m
'Cause if stars are only painted on the ceiling above
                 A                      G
Then who can you turn to and who do you love?
              Em                D
I want to get out while I still can

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

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

repeat D & A till fade:
