E A/C# Am6 – 9 E x4

E A/C# C#m7 F#7 G#m7 F#7 B B/A
i must be invisible , no one knows me
E A/C# C#m7 F#7 D/F# A/E ( E A/C# Am6 – 9 E ) x2
i have crawled down dead – end streets on my hands and knees

E A/C# C#m7 F#7 G#m7 F#7 B B/A
i was born with a ragin’ thirst , a hunger to be free
E A/C# C#m7 F#7 D/F# A/E E A/C# Am6 – 9 E
but i’ve learned through the years don’t encourage me

E F#7 B C#m7 A G#7 C#m7 E7
cause i’m a lonely stranger here well beyond my day
A Em6/A# E C#m7 F#m B7 ( E A/C# Am6 – 9 E ) x4
i don’t know what’s goin’ on , i’ll be on my way ( yes i will ) x3

E A/C# C#m7 F#7 G#m7 F#7 B B/A
when i walk , stay behind , don’t get close to me
E A/C# C#m7 F#7 D/F# A/E E A/C# Am6 – 9 E
cause it’s sure to end in tears , so just let me be

E A/C# C#m7 F#7 G#m7 F#7 B B/A
some will say that i’m no good , maybe i agree
E A/C# C#m7 F#7 D/F# A/E E A/C# Am6 – 9 E
take a look , then walk away , that’s all right with me

E F#7 B C#m7 A G#7 C#m7 E7
cause i’m a lonely stranger here well beyond my day
A Em6/A# E C#m7 F#m B7 ( E A/C# Am6 – 9 E ) ( to outro )
i don’t know what’s goin’ on i’ll be on my way ( yes i will ) x3

outro :
E A/C# Am6 – 9
