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.

Everyone a secret life
DG
A secret sorrow, secret wife
DG
Somewhere they think that they can hide
D
But all the time I knew
G
I was watching you
DG
Up the ladder to the roof
DG
Halfway between hell and the stars
DG
We talked about the humdrum truth
D
And all the time I knew
G
And I was watching you
AG
Sweet, sweet

Sweet, sweet

He can't touch you any more

You only get one chance so take it
BmAsuA4
Or spend your whole life learning to fake it
DGDG
And the traces that we leave
DG
And the loved ones in distress
DG
Their sleep patterns in a mess
D
And all the time they knew
G
And they were watching you
AG
Sweet, sweet

Sweet, sweet

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

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.
