VERSE 1:

Em

Well we all have a face

Am Em

That we hide away forever

Am C7

And we take them out, and show ourselves

D B7

When everyone has gone

Em

Some are satin, some are steel

Am Em

Some are silk and some are leather

Am D Em7 Em

They're the faces of a stranger but we love

Bm7 Em

To try them on

REPEAT INTRO

||:

Em

Well we all fall in love

Am Em

But we disregard the danger

Am C7

Though we share so many secrets, there are

D B7

Some we never tell

Em

Why were you so surprised

Am Em

That you never saw the stranger

Am D Em

Did you ever let your lover see the stranger

Bm Em

in yourself

Bm Bb+ Bm7

Don't be afraid to try again

D Bm

Everyone goes south

Bb Bm7 D

Every now and then

Bm Bb+ Bm7

You've done it, why can't someone else

D Bm

You should know by now,

Bb+ D Bm

You've been there yourself

Em

1st time: Once I used to believe

2nd time: You will never understand

Am Em

I was such a great romancer

How the stranger is inspired

Am C7

Then I came home to a woman

But he isn't always evil

D B7

That I could not recognize

And he is not always wrong

Em

When I pressed her for a reason

Though you drown in good intentions

Am Em

She refused to give an answer

You will never quench the fire

Am D Em7

It was then I felt the stranger kick me

You'll give into your desire when the

Em Bm7 Em

Right between the eyes

Stranger comes along
