Back then, the (Ab6)men would look and smile at me like boys ap (Ab6)ply ing for a sum mer job.
But no, I (Emaj7)nev er would re spond, the (Bmaj7)va can cy was tak en.
Back home, my (Ab6)love would whis per in my ear.
Those words, a (Ab7)shel ter for a trou bled soul.
That voice, like (Dbmaj7)sun shine when you’re cold, like (Dmaj7)wa ter when you’re thirs ty.
And then one morn ing he was (Ab)gone.
A day went by and he was (Dbmaj7)gone.
A month went by and I would (Eb)stand at the win dow, (Db)hold ing the ba by, (C)shak ing with fear.
Then (Eb)one day I heard it, as (Db)real as the sun, that (C7)voice in my ear.
That’s (CN.C.)when I re al ized it, He was in (Ab)vis i (Bb9)ble, like a (Ebmaj7)mag ic trick, like a (Abmaj9)mir a cle.
I don’t know how he (Ab)did it, he was (Eb)gone but he (Db)still was (C7)there.
But, to tal ly in (Ab)vis i (Bb9)ble, but don’t (Eb)get me wrong, he was (C7)tang i ble, but in (Fm7)vis i ble like (Ab)grav i ty or the (Cm7)air.
They said I had to take a lit tle rest some place where (Ab6)they could keep an eye on (Dbmaj7)me.
De spite the (Emaj7)bars a cross the win dow, my (Bmaj7)room was pret ty sun ny.
Those days were (Ab6)mum bles in a sleep ing (G7)ear.
The hall ways al ways smelled like chick en (G7)soup.
Most of the doc tors were po lite, the (Dmaj7)nuns were nice and nun ny.
You eat your lunch, a year is (Ab)gone.
You go to bed, ten years are gone.
Then you wake up and won der (Eb)where is it hid ing?
(Db)Where did it go?
I (C)don’t un der stand.
The (Eb)life I had wan ted, the (Db)life I was prom ised, the (C7)life I had planned.
(CN.C.)Then I re al ized it, it was in (Ab)vis i (Bb9)ble, that en (Ebmaj7)tire life was in vis i ble be cause some bod y mis (Ab)placed it, (Bb9)so it had to (Db)be some (C7)where.
Just (Fm7)out of reach, just (Ab)out of (Bb9)sight, there’s a cou ple (Eb7)danc ing in (C7)can dle light.
No (Fm7)grav i ty, we’re (Ab)spin ning (Bb9)in the air.
Now things are pret ty (F7)much the same as (Bb)how they (Bb)used to (Eb)be.
The (Cm7)young men still are (F7)smil ing, they just (Bb)nev er (Fm)smile at (Eb)me.
At (Fm7)first I thought they (Bb9)might be blind,
like (Eb)love or grav i (G)ty.
But, then I (Cm)re al ized,
I (Db)picked it up, I’ve (Cm)got the gift,
I (CN.C.)feel like su per (Fm7)girl.
I’ve be come in (Ab)vis i (Bb9)ble.
I’m a (Ebmaj7)ma gic trick; is n’t it (Abmaj9)won der ful?
Like a char (Fm7)ac ter in a com ic book.
I can (Bb9)see what you’re (Eb)think ing, (Db)but I don’t (C7)care.
So if you’re on an (Ab)emp ty (Bb9)street and you (Eb)hear the tap ping of (Abmaj7)high heeled feet, or you hear a heart like a (Bb9)phan tom beat or the (Eb)scream of a (Eb7)wom an left (C7)in com plete.
Well,
don’t fear what (Ab)you can’t (Bb9)see, the (Cm7)odds are good that it’s (F7)on ly me.
I’m in (Fm7)vis i ble, I’ve van ished
in
thin…
Ta (C)da.
