| Well we | all have a face that we | hide away for | ever |
| Am | C | D | B7 | |
| And we | take them out and | show ourselves when | everyone has gone |
| Em | Am | Em | |
| Some are | satin some are steel some are | silk and some are | leather |
| Am | D | Bm | Em | |
| They’re the | faces of the | stranger but we | love to try them | on |
| Em | C7 | Em | C7 |
| Em | Am | Em | |
| Well we | all fall in love but we | disregard the | danger |
| Am | C | D | B7 | |
| Though we | share so many | secrets there are | some we never tell |
| Em | Am | Em | |
| Why were | you so surprised that you | never saw the | stranger? |
| Am | D | Bm | Em | |
| Did you | ever let your | lover see the | stranger in your | self? |
