Intro: Fm Fm6 Fm7 
         Eb F# Ab Eb 
Fm                       Eb               C                          Fm  
You promised me the ending would be clear, you'd let me know when the time was now 
  C#                          Fm               Eb                      C# 
Don't let me know when you're opening the door, stab me in the dark let me disappear 
Memories that flutter like bats out of hell, stab you from the city spires 
Life wasn't worth the balance, or the crumpled paper it was written on 

Fm Fm6 Fm7 
Don't let me know we're invisible,

Fm                       Eb               C                          Fm  
Hot cash days that you trailed around, cold cold nights under chrome and glass 
C#                          Fm         Eb                      C# 
Led me down river of perfumed limbs, sent me to the streets with the good time girls 

Fm Fm6 Fm7 
/:Don't let me know we're invisible:/, we could dance dance dance through the fire 
 C#         Eb    Fm 
Feed me no lies, I don't know about you I don't know about you 
Breathe through the years, I don't know about you I don't know about you 
Bring me the disco king, I don't know about you I don't know about you 
C#        Eb     C#         Eb
Dead or alive, Feed me no lies 
Fm 
/:Bring me the disco king:/

Spin-offs with those who slept like corpses, damp morning rays in the stiff bad clubs 
Killing time in the '70s, smelling of love through the moist winds 
Don't let me know when you're opening the door, close me in the dark let me disappear 
Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left to release
