[Intro]
Dm Am Dm E
[Verse 1]
Am
The world waits for you when
F
And the dawn breaks for you when
Dm
And the media will watch
Bb
And she will change her mind
Am
I tried to win for you when
F
I shed my skin for you when
Dm
I loved you like my own
Bb
I fed you like a child
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F
Stay in bed and feed the day
Eb
With my imagination, honey
Dm D
Falling through the cracks in people's kindness
Gm
And the world won't step aside
Gm
I tried to make you want me
Dm
I left my home at seventeen
Gm A
But everywhere I looked I saw
Another me
[Chorus]
Bb
And we are the invisibles
F
Plain and lonely
Db Eb F
It's funny how it's always out of reach
[Verse 2]
Am
I hear the wood pigeons and
F
I call my father in and
Dm
He sits and hears me sing
Bb
But never wonders why
Am
Why do I call out in the night
F
He found the photos set alight
Dm
Everything about her
Bb
Makes me want to smile
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F
I'll stay in bed and feed the day
Eb
With my polite conversation, father
Dm D
Papering the cracks in others' silence
Gm
But I still won't step aside
Gm
I tried to make her want me
Dm
I tried to play her politics
Gm
But every step I took
A
I had to swallow this
[Chorus]
Bb
But we are the invisibles
F
Strange and lonely
Db Eb F
It's funny how it's always out of reach
Db Eb F
It's funny how it's always out of reach
Db Eb F
It's funny how we're always out of reach
