[Verse 1]
       D                                 Em7
I was back on your old street the other night
 D                Em7
Cool fluorescent light
         D                           Em7
I felt free and I felt lonely in the dark
D               Em7
How it always starts

      D
Superpowers
           Em7
They don't help
Em7      D
Feeling sorry
       Em7
For myself

         D                               Em7
You make everything explode when you're around
D        Em7     D
Lights, colors, sounds


[Chorus]
  D
I call you from a phone booth
       Em7               D           Em7    D
Like Clark Kent in a new suit after dark
   Em7           D         Em7            D         Em7
An anxious alter ego in a costume, not a hero after all

D

D                          Em7
I couldn't touch you if I tried
            D              Em7
I couldn't touch you if I tried
            D              Em7
I couldn't touch you if I wanted to [x2]
              D
I couldn't if I

[Verse 2]
          D             Em7                 D
I'm not scared of being out, I'm scared of you
     D                Em7
And what you make me do
             D                               Em7
Back on the back bar, your breath inside my mouth
   D            Em7            D            Em7
I fly over the city trying to wait October out


[Chorus]
  D
I call you from a phone booth
       Em7               D           Em7    D
Like Clark Kent in a new suit after dark
   Em7           D         Em7            D         Em7
An anxious alter ego in a costume, not a hero after all

D

D                          Em7
I couldn't touch you if I tried
            D              Em7
I couldn't touch you if I tried
            D              Em7
I couldn't touch you if I wanted to [x2]
              D
I couldn't if I


[Bridge]
Em7                        D
Thoughts, lights, colors, sounds
Em7                  D
Superpowers fail me now
Em7                        D
Thoughts, lights, colors, sounds
Em7                  D
Superpowers fail me now


[Chorus]
   D
I call you from a phone booth
       Em7                           D
Like Clark Kent in a new suit after dark (after dark)
   Em7           D         Em7                      D
An anxious alter ego in a costume, not a hero after all

D                          Em7
I couldn't touch you if I tried
            D              Em7
I couldn't touch you if I tried

I couldn't if I
