Well we Emall have a face that we Amhide away forEmever
And we Amtake them out and Cshow ourselves when Deveryone has goneB7
Some are Emsatin some are steel some are Amsilk and some are Emleather
They’re the Amfaces of the Dstranger but we Bmlove to try them Emon
EmC7EmC7
Well we Emall fall in love but we Amdisregard the Emdanger
Though we Amshare so many Csecrets there are Dsome we never tellB7
Why were Emyou so surprised that you Amnever saw the Emstranger?
Did you Amever let your Dlover see the Bmstranger in yourEmself?
Vox on the 5, but then I go *down* to avoid the falsetto bit
On guitar that iM7 just wants to be im.
Gmaj7Don’t be afGmM7raid to try aD/F#gain
D7Everyone goes Gmaj7south eGmM7very now and D/F#then, D7oh oh
Gmaj7You’ve done it, GmM7why can’t someone D/F#else?
D7You should know by Bm7now Bbaugyou’ve been there yourA6self B7
Once I Emused to believe I was Amsuch a great roEmmancer
Then I Amcame home to a Cwoman that I Dcould not recognizeB7
When I Empressed her for a reason she reAmfused to even Emanswer
It was Amthen I felt the Dstranger kick me Bmright between the Emeyes

You may Emnever understand how the Amstranger is insEmpired
But he Amisn’t always Cevil and he Dis not always wrongB7
Though you Emdrown in good intentions you will Amnever quench the Emfire
You’ll give Amin to your deDsire when the Bmstranger comes aEmlong
