Invisible Ink

Invisible Ink

Invisible Ink


From the 2002 album "Lost in Space"


capo up 4 frets

F#            Bm        G           D          G            D    
There comes a time when you swim or sink so I jumped in the drink
       G          D           A     Asus4 A F#
'Cause I couldn't make myself clear
        Bm            G       D      G             D      
Maybe I wrote in an invisible ink oh I've tried to think
    G          D         A    Asus4 A Asus4 A
how I could've made it appear

      G A   Bm A  D         D/C    D/B       D/A           Em  A Em A
But another illustration is wasted cuz the results are the same 
        G   A Bm    A     D         D/C       D/B        D/A        Em 
I feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands over some Ouija board
       A           G     D      Dsus4 D
in the hopes I can spell out my name

F#                 Bm    G        D          G              D      
But some take from magic at first glance is just sleight of hand
   G            D        A    Asus4 A F#
depending how much you believe
               Bm        G        D         G            D     
Something gets lost when you translate it's hard to keep straight
    G          D    A    Asus4 A Asus4 A
perspective is everything

      G    A   Bm    A  D              D/C     D/B    D/A        Em  A Em A
And I know now which is which and what angle I oughta look at it from
      G   A Bm    A   D        D/C   D/B  D/A                 Em
I suppose I should be happy to be misread better be that than some of the
A            G D      Dsus4 D
other things I have become
  
  A                  Em
But nobody wants to hear this tale
The plot is cliche - the jokes are stale 
                    G        D     A
and maybe we've all heard it all before
           A            Em
oh I could get specific but
nobody needs a catalog
                 G            D        A
when details are love I can't sell anymore

     G      A  Bm  A     D          D/C     D/B    D/A      Em  A Em A
And aside from that this chain of reaction baby is losing a link
            G     A    Bm    A     D        D/C      D/B        D/A 
Thought I'd hope you'd know that I tried to tell you and if you don't I could 
Em         A          G         D  Dsus4 D
draw you a picture in invisible ink

 A                  Em
But nobody wants to hear this tale
The plot is cliche - the jokes are stale 
                    G        D     A
and maybe we've all heard it all before
           A            Em
oh I could get specific but
nobody needs a catalog
                 G            D        A
when details are love I can't sell anymore

A Em A Em G D A 
Oh ohh
A Em A Em G D A
