[verse]
C                Fmaj7
I want to be the angel
C                Fmaj7 G
I want to be the mystery
C                Fmaj7
I want to be the phantom
     C      G        C
That nobody else can see.


[verse] 
C                            Fmaj7
My apartment might seem real tragic
C                         Fmaj7 G
I’m sitting here scheming secretly
C                        Fmaj7
Part of me dreaming this magic
       C           G       C
Might find its way back to me.


[chorus]
F                         
I’m leaving signs around town
C
I’m painting arrows on the ground
Dm
I’m leaving hints and clues
Bb              G                   C
I'm hoping that they’ll lead you to me

[verse]
C                      Fmaj7
I hope that I don’t surrender
C                     Fmaj7 G
I hope I don’t give in easily
C                 Fmaj7
Sloth is a sneaky vendor
           C            G       C
That could sell my life back to me


[verse]

C                Fmaj7
I want to be the fable
C                             Fmaj7      G
Skulk through your house when you’re not home
        C                    Fmaj7
Cut the legs on your kitchen table
       C         G        C
So you wonder if you have grown


[chorus]
F
I’m not a thug or a gangster
C
More like a bug or a prankster
Dm
I’m a subtle superhero
Bb        G              C
Injecting life into your life.

[bridge]
Cmaj7                        Fmaj7
Through the steam of coffee. Just behind the sugar.
Cmaj7                              Fmaj7           Dm7/G 
Reflected in the window. There’s a perfect pair of eyes.
Cmaj7                   Fmaj7
Perched above the city. Back lit by the lamp light
Cmaj7                                  Fmaj7           Dm7/G 
A hand pulls back a curtain. There’s a perfect pair of eyes


[verse]
C                Fmaj7
I want to be the angel. 
C                Fmaj7 G
I want to be the mystery
C                Fmaj7
I want to be the phantom. 
C           G        C 
That nobody else can see.
