I just kicked out the floor lights
Am Em
But the spotlight operator's shining shame on all my chosen words and my chosen words and my
G
Hip parading
(Pre-Chorus)
F Em Am
I can see him start to sneer
C
Get me out of here
F
Get me out of here
(Verse 2)
C Am
And what started out in earnest now seems more like a jest
Em G
And I was your concrete hero, is now an uninvited guest
(Pre-Chorus)
F Em Am
And the floor seats are sensing fear
C
Get me out of here
F
Get me out of here
(Chorus 1)

if you get off on loneliness

Get me out of here.

To a bus take me over the Golden Gate Bridge

to leftover peas and a note on the fridge

She's holding the keys until the tone is abridged
F
but the message is clear
C Am E G
get me outta heeeere.
(Breakdown)
C Am
Crashing in the backstage, the show's a smashing great success (thank you darling)
Em G
The band's a gateway drug and I'm a tragic mess.

This song's for you, my bashful maiden,

whose face looked like my wife

is now as cold and calculating
F Am C
as a cosmetic surgeon's knife

Somebody save her life

when you're a creature of the night
F G
She's a creature of the night
