Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Ending

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

Am Am F F C C G G

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

Ab Ab Eb Eb F F G G
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.
