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
