[INTRO]    
[Em] [Em/D] [Cmaj7] [B] [C] [E] [E/F#] [E/G#]
[Am[ [Em/G] [D/F#] [Em] [Em/D] [B/D#]

[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] [A#aug] [D]
Don't be afraid to try again
[D7] [Bm] [A#] [D] [D] [D7]
Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh
[Bm] [A#aug] [D]
You've done it, why can't someone else?
[D7] [Bm] [A#aug] [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
[Am] [D]
Did you ever let your lover see
[Bm] [Em]
The stranger in yourself?

[Bm] [A#aug] [D]
Don't be afraid to try again
[D7] [Bm] [A#] [D] [D] [D7]
Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh
[Bm] [A#aug] [D]
You've done it, why can't someone else?
[D7] [Bm] [A#aug] [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
