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
They're the faces of the stranger
Bm Em C7 Em C7
But we love to try them on
Em
Well we all fall in love
Am Em
But we disregard the danger
Am C7
Though we share so many secrets
D B7
There are some we never tell
Em
Why were you so surprised
Am Em
That you never saw the stranger
Am D
Did you ever let your lover see
Bm Em
The stranger in yourself?
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
Em
Once I used to believe
Am Em
I was such a great romancer
Am C7
Then I came home to a woman
D B7
That I could not recognize
Em

When I pressed her for a reason
Am Em
She refused to even answer
Am D
It was then I felt the stranger
Bm Em C7 Em C7
Kick me right between the eyes
Em
Well we all fall in love
Am Em
But we disregard the danger
Am C7
Though we share so many secrets
D B7
There are some we never tell
Em
Why were you so surprised
Am Em
That you never saw the stranger

D7 Bm* Bb#5 D Bm
You should know by now you've been there yourself
Em
You may never understand
Am Em
How the stranger is inspired
Am C7
But he isn't always evil
D B7
And he is not always wrong
Em
Though you drown in good intentions
Am Em
You will never quench the fire
Am D
You'll give in to your desire
Bm Em C7 Em C7 Em C7 Em
When the stranger comes along
