THE STRANGER from The Stranger

ELECTRIC: [Am]Em [Em/G]C7 Em[A6] C7[Em] [B/D#] [A] [B7] [B7/A] [Em]
Well we [Em]all have a face
That we [Am]hide away for[Em]ever
And we [Am]take them out and [C7]show ourselves
When [D]everyone has gone[B7]
Some are [Em]satin some are steel
Some are [Am]silk and some are [Em]leather
They're the [Am]faces of the [D]stranger
But we [Bm]love to try them [Em]on[C7] [Em] [C7]
Well we [Em]all fall in love
But we [Am]disregard the [Em]danger
Though we [Am]share so many [C7]secrets
There are [D]some we never tell[B7]
Why were [Em]you so surprised
That you [Am]never saw the [Em]stranger
Did you [Am]ever let your [D]lover see
The [Bm]stranger in your[Em]self?
Bm* Bb#5 D*
Don't be afraid to try again
D7 Bm* Bb D* D D7
Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh
Bm* Bb#5 D*
You've done it, why can't someone else?
D7 Bm* Bb#5 D Bm
You should know by now you've been there yourself
Once I [Em]used to believe
I was [Am]such a great ro[Em]mancer
Then I [Am]came home to a [C7]woman
That I [D]could not recognize[B7]
When I [Em]pressed her for a reason
She re[Am]fused to even [Em]answer
It was [Am]then I felt the [D]stranger
Kick me [Bm]right between the [Em]eyes[C7] [Em] [C7]
Well we [Em]all fall in love
But we [Am]disregard the [Em]danger
Though we [Am]share so many [C7]secrets
There are [D]some we never tell[B7]
Why were [Em]you so surprised
That you [Am]never saw the [Em]stranger
Did you [Am]ever let your [D]lover see
The [Bm]stranger in your[Em]self?
Bm* Bb#5 D*
Don't be afraid to try again
D7 Bm* Bb D* D D7
Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh
Bm* Bb#5 D*
You've done it, why can't someone else?
D7 Bm* Bb#5 D Bm
You should know by now you've been there yourself
You may [Em]never understand
How the [Am]stranger is ins[Em]pired
But he [Am]isn't always [C7]evil
And he [D]is not always wrong[B7]
Though you [Em]drown in good intentions
You will [Am]never quench the [Em]fire
You'll give [Am]in to your de[D]sire
When the [Bm]stranger comes a[Em]long[C7] [Em] [C7] [Em] [C7] [Em]
