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
A secret sorrow, secret wife
Somewhere they think that they can hide
But all the time I knew
I was watching you
Up the ladder to the roof
Halfway between hell and the stars
We talked about the humdrum truth
And all the time I knew
And I was watching you
Sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet
Sweet invisible
Sweet invisible
Sweet invisible
He can't touch you any more
You only get one chance so take it
Or spend your whole life learning to fake it
And the traces that we leave
And the loved ones in distress
Their sleep patterns in a mess
And all the time they knew
And they were watching you
Sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet
Sweet invisible
Sweet invisible
Sweet invisible
He can't touch you any more
So they come to the same place every day
To watch each other, but they never meet
So they come each day to the same place
To watch each other, but they never meet
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.
