Sweet Invisible, by Boo Hewerdine

From Ignorance, 1992.

This is played with the capo on the first fret. The tabs refer to the chord shapes on 
tuning.

D G x 4

D                 G
Everyone a secret life
D                       G
A secret sorrow, secret wife
D                                  G
Somewhere they think that they can hide
D
But all the time I knew
G
I was watching you

D                    G
Up the ladder to the roof
D                            G
Halfway between hell and the stars
D                           G
We talked about the humdrum truth
D
And all the time I knew
G
And I was watching you

A      G
Sweet, sweet
A      G
Sweet, sweet
D           G
Sweet invisible
D       G
Sweet invisible
D       G       A
Sweet invisible
         G             A
He can't touch you any more

Bm                         A
You only get one chance so take it
Bm                                     Asus4 A
Or spend your whole life learning to fake    it

D G

D                      G
And the traces that we leave
D                        G
And the loved ones in distress
D                         G
Their sleep patterns in a mess
D
And all the time they knew
G
And they were watching you

A      G
Sweet, sweet
A      G
Sweet, sweet
D           G
Sweet invisible
D       G
Sweet invisible
D       G       A
Sweet invisible
         G             A
He can't touch you any more

D                                    G
So they come to the same place every day
                                    D
To watch each other, but they never meet
                                  G
So they come each day to the same place
                                    D
To watch each other, but they never meet
                G
They never meet

D               G
Sweet invisible


On the D, I think Boo pulls off to get a Dsus2 on the second to last beat of the two 
on D. He does something similar to introduce a G6 on the bars with G. Listen to the song - 
get it.
