(Intro)
Open up song by strumming individual notes on C
(Verse 1)
[C]I just kicked out the floor lights
But the [Am]spotlight operator's shining [Em]shame on all my chosen words and my chosen words and my
[G]Hip parading
(Pre-Chorus)
[F]I can see [Em]him start to [Am]sneer
[C]Get me out of here
[F]Get me out of here
(Verse 2)
[C]And what started out in earnest now [Am]seems more like a jest
And I [Em]was your concrete hero, is now an [G]uninvited guest
(Pre-Chorus)
And the [F]floor seats [Em]are sensing [Am]fear
[C]Get me out of here
[F]Get me out of here
(Chorus 1)
Could be the [Am]greatest [Em]rockstar [F]ever
if you [Am]get off on [Em]loneli[F]ness
[G]Cause it's a wilderness
[F]It's like a wilderness
And the band said, [C]come [Am]to,
[Em]we're waiting up [F]for you,
yeah they're [C]waiting up for [F]you,
and you're [G]backstage in the [F]dark, yeah.
[C]Can you [Am]stand? [Em]The audience [F]commands
you to s[C]tand up[F] for the band.
[G]Well I think I lost my spark.
(Verse 3)
[C]My damsel with the dowry
walked [Am]into the hotel Bowery
Some [Em]junior banker's lusty c[G]onquest
(Pre-Chorus)
And I'm [F]too shocked [Em]to shed a [Am]tear
[C]Get me out of here.
[F]Get me out of here.
(Chorus 2)
Could be the [Am]greatest [Em]rockstar [F]ever
Who needs a new address.
[C]Come to, [Am]Yeah!
[Em]we're waiting up for [F]you
yeah they're [C]waiting up for [F]you
is [G]everything [F]alright? Yeah
[C]Can you [Am]stand? [Em]The audience [F]commands
you to [C]stand up [F]for the band
You're a [G]creature of the night
[Cadd9]She's [G]a creature of the night
[Cadd9]She's [G]a creature of the night
(Short Instrumental)
[F] [C] [F] [Am]
[F] [C] [F] [G]
(Bridge)
[F]To a bus take me over the [C]Golden Gate Bridge
[F]to leftover peas and a not[Am]e on the fridge
[F]She's holding the keys unt[C]il the tone is abridged
[F]but the message is clear
[C]get me outta [Am]hee[E]ee[G]re.
(Breakdown)
[C]Crashing in the backstage, the show's a [Am]smashing great success (thank you darling)
[Em]The band's a gateway drug and I'm a [G]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
as a [F]cosmetic [Am]surgeon's [C]knife
Somebody [Cadd9]save her [G]life
Somebody [Cadd9]save her [G]life
(End Chorus)
The band said, [C]come on [Am]dude
[Em]we're waiting up for [F]you
yeah they're [C]waiting up [F]for you
[G]is everything [F]alright?
[C]Can you [Am]stand? The [Em]audience [F]commands you to
[C]Stand up for [F]the band
[G]You're a creature of
The [Am]greatest [Em]rockstar [F]ever
if y[Am]ou get of[Em]f on lone[F]liness
Cause it's [F]hard to get it [G]right
when you're[F] a creature of [G]the night
She's a cre[F]ature of the ni[G]ght
