E A/C# Am6-9 E x4 [Verse]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus] (Yes I will) x3 [Verse]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus] (Yes I will) x3

[Outro]
E   A/C#   Am6-9
