The Great Escape Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Am I [D]still here? Am I [Bm]hidden
from your sight?
Did [D]I suddenly expire; did [Bm]I walk
into the [Bm]light?
But maybe there is time; one
more trick up my sleeve
there [D]is still so much to [Bm]say

[Interlude 1]
Can anybody hear me?
[Cm]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]I'm suff[Bsus4]ocating - ca[Bm]n't
you hear me shout
wrapped up [F#aug]in soft voices
like a [Bm]reverential shroud
I'm suffocationg - can't you hear me cry
a [F#aug]constant flow of faces on
[D]parade before my eyes

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Can anybody hear me? So much to sa[Em]y
the [G]secrets I have kept [Bm]- stor
ies from the good old [D]days
[Bm]can anybody hear me? So much to sa[Em]y
the [G]politics of people - and [Bm]the ganes
we choose [D]to play[A]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]This is no[Bsus4]t a coma I[Bm]
a resting my eyes
[F#aug]tired of the noise and[Bm] scared
of the lies
but for one night only I
will capticate you all
with one last piece [F#aug]of
magig ... one last [Bm]miracle

[Verse 5]
I'm suffocating [Bm]- can't you
hear me scream?
[F#aug]as you stab me in the [Bm]arm in s[F#aug]earch of some
[Bm]where good to bleed
I'm suffocating - can't
you hear my prayers?
a [F#aug]rain of gentle hand[Bm]s
[D]trying hard to show they care

[Verse 6]
I [Gm]could fly so high and free - if [D]my soul
wasn't anchored to me
I've got [Gm]one last show I have to do
and my [D]powers of illusion will
amaze and puzzle you
[Gm]pull the rabbit from an old
and battered hat
cut [D]the lady into pieces, just like that
I will mes[Gm]merize and
dramatize and obfuscate
and [D]I'll finisch with undoubtedly the greatest - the [Dm]greatest [Gm]es

[Interlude 2]
cape!
[Gm][Bm]
[Gm]
[G][Gm][Bm][Cm]
[Bm][Dm][D][Dm]
[D]Can any[F#aug]body

[Verse 7]
[Gm]hear me? Am I
[Cm]hid den from your sight?
Did I [Eb]sud denly expire; did
I [Dm]walk into the light?
Can anybody [Gm]hear me? Am I
[Cm]hidden from your sight?
Did you [Eb]see me turn to stone,
or go [F]missing in the [D]night?
Can anybody [Gm]hear me? Can
anybody [Cm]hear me?
Did I [Eb]sud denly expire; did
I [F]walk into the [D]light?
Can anybody [Gm]hear me? Can
anybody [Cm]hear me?
Have I [Eb]turned into a statue,
or gone [F]missing in the [D]night?
Can anybody [Gm]hear me?
