Verse 1

C chordC Am chordAm
He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse
C chordC Am chordAm
In the cathedral with the glass stained black
C chordC Am chordAm
Singing sweet high notes that echo back
Ab chordAb G7 chordG7
To destroy their master
C chordC Am chordAm
May be a long time till you get the call-up
C chordC Am chordAm
But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck
C chordC Ab chordAb G chordG D chordD
No-one'll know where you are

Chorus

C chordC Am chordAm Fmaj7 chordFmaj7 G chordG
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
C chordC Am chordAm Fmaj7 chordFmaj7 G chordG
Running speed trials standing in place

Verse 2

C chordC Am chordAm
When the socket's not a shock enough
C chordC Am chordAm
You little child what makes you think you're tough?
C chordC Am chordAm
When all the people you think you're above
Ab chordAb G7 chordG7
They all know what's the matter
C chordC Am chordAm
You're such a pinball yeah you know it's true
C chordC Am chordAm
There's always something you go back running to
C chordC Ab chordAb G chordG D chordD
To follow the path of no resistance

Chorus

C chordC Am chordAm Fmaj7 chordFmaj7 G chordG
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
C chordC Am chordAm Fmaj7 chordFmaj7 G chordG
Running speed trials standing in place
Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG
Running speed trials all over the place

Ending

Play these chords to fade-out while Elliott sings "Oooh-ooh-ohh", etc.:

Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG

During the part where the words are "No one'll know where you are", you might try:

Ab chordAb Eb chordEb F chordF G chordG
No one'll know where you are

Same for "To follow the path of no resistance"

Neither one is completely right, I don't think, but maybe each is part right.
