[Intro]
E     A/E   Am/E  E  (bis)

[Verse 1]
E      A/E C#m   F#  
I must be  invisible;
G#m    F#    B  B/A
No one knows me.
E      A/E     C#m           F#     
I have crawled down dead-end streets
D/F#  A/E       E     A/E
On my hands and knees.
E     A/E  C#m           F#     
I was born with a ragin' thirst,
G#m  F#        B  B/A
A hunger to be free,
E        A/E     C#m         F#    
But I've learned through the years.
D/F#    A/E     E  A/E
Don't encourage me.

[Chorus]
       E F#         B    B/A C#m/G#
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
A      G#7     C#m E7
Will be all my day.
A           F#/A#       E/B   C#m
And I don't know what's goin' on,
F#m     B7    E   A/E
I'll be on my way.

[Verse 2]
E      A/E   C#m    F#   
When I walk, stay behind;
G#m       F#       B  B/A
Don't get close to me,
E           A/E  C#m       F#    
'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
D/F#    A/E    E  A/E
So just let me be.
E         A/E      C#m    F#   
Some will say that I'm no good;
G#m F#   B   B/A
Maybe I agree.
E      A/E  C#m        F#  
Take a look then walk away.
D/F#       A/E        E  A/E
That's all right with me.

[Chorus]
       E F#         B    B/A C#m/G#
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
A      G#7     C#m E7
Well beyond my day.
A           F#/A#       E/B   C#m
And I don't know what's goin' on,
F#m        B7    E   A/E
So I'll be on my way.
