(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 (Chorus 1) 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. (Chorus 2) 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 (Short Instrumental) FCFAm FCFG (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 (Outro)
