Get Me Out Of Here

	  		(Intro) 

Open up song by strumming individual notes on C  

(verse 1) 

C                    
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 


             Am       Em       F 
Could be the greatest rockstar ever 
       Am         Em    F 
if you get off on loneliness 
G 
Cause it's a wilderness 
F 
It's like a wilderness 
                   C    Am 
And the band said, come to, 
Em               F 
we're waiting up for you, 
             C              F 
yeah they're waiting up for you, 
           G                F 
and you're backstage in the dark, yeah. 
C       Am     Em           F 
Can you stand? The audience commands 
        C      F    
you to stand up for the band. 
G 
Well I think I lost my spark. 


(verse 3) 

C 
My damsel with the dowry 
       Am 
walked into the hotel Bowery 
     Em                     G 
Some junior banker's lusty conquest 

(Pre-Chorus) 

        F           Em        Am 
And I'm too shocked to shed a tear 
C 
Get me out of here. 
F 
Get me out of here. 


             Am       Em       F 
Could be the greatest rockstar ever 
Who needs a new address. 
C        Am 
Come to, Yeah!  
Em                   F 
we're waiting up for you 
             C              F 
yeah they're waiting up for you 
   G          F  
is everything alright? Yeah 
C       Am     Em           F 
Can you stand? The audience commands 
       C        F  
you to stand up for the band 
         G  
You're a creature of the night 
Cadd9 G 
She's a creature of the night 
Cadd9 G 
She's a creature of the night

F C F G 

(Bridge) 

F                         C 
To a bus take me over the Golden Gate Bridge 
F                         Am 
to leftover peas and a note on the fridge 
F                         C 
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. 
C 
But one more time the lights they fade in 
Am 
This song's for you, my bashful maiden, 
Em 
whose face looked like my wife 
G 
is now as cold and calculating 
     F        Am        C 
as a cosmetic surgeon's knife 
         Cadd9    G 
Somebody save her life 
         Cadd9    G 
Somebody save her life 

(End Chorus) 

               C       Am 
The band said, come on dude 
Em                   F 
we're waiting up for you 
             C          F 
yeah they're waiting up for you 
G             F 
is everything alright? 
C       Am         Em       F 
Can you stand? The audience commands you to 
C            F 
Stand up for the band 
G        
You're a creature of 
    Am       Em       F 
The greatest rockstar ever 
    Am       Em       F 
if you get off on loneliness 

           F              G 
Cause it's hard to get it right 
           F              G 
when you're a creature of the night 
           F              G 
She's a creature of the night
