[Intro] G B Em G B Em [Verse 1]
G B         Em     G         B          Em
We were seventeen, first time away from home

Am                 D
You lived down the hall

        Am                D
Went to high school in Oshawa

G   B         Em        G    B           Em
Days would go by, you'd never leave your room

    Am            D
I'd ask what was wrong

         Am                   D
You just laughed and said, "c'mon"
[Chorus]
C                  Em
But It's easy for me to say:

Am                      G
I'm not alone with those conversations

C                      Em
That you have with yourself all day

Am                    D
Man I get it when you need escaping

C           G         Am
When it gets too much

C                  G        Am
I love you like my own blood
N.C. So don't be a stranger [Instrumental] G B Em G B Em [Verse 2]
G           B               Em
No one ever knew how you two could even be related

G               B
You were always delicate

Em
Despite a father with no patience

Am             D                Am                  D
I returned his call, I tried to say, "it's nobody's fault"
[Chorus]
C             Em
It's easy for me to say:

Am                      G
I'm not alone with those conversations

C                      Em
That you have with yourself all day

Am                    D
Man I get it when you need escaping

C           G         Am
When it gets too much

C                  G        Am
I love you like my own blood
N.C. So don't be a stranger [Instrumental] G B Em G B Em [Bridge]
Em         D
It's 10 pm, you've been drinking

       C                 Bm           Am
You're holding court and putting on a show

Em             D
All the talent, but its a balance

F                 C           D
I can't tell you anything you don't already know

G B     Em          G        B      Em
I can't predict the next time it'll hit

        Am            D
When the urge comes on strong

           Am      D
To pack it in and dissolve
[Chourus]
C             Em
It's easy for me to say:

Am                      G
I'm not alone with those conversations

C                      Em
That you have with yourself all day

Am                    D
Man I get it when you need escaping

C            G       Am
When it gets too much

C            G       Am
When it gets too much

C              G      Am
I know it gets too much

Am
What have you been taking?

C                  G       Am
I love you like my own blood

Am
So don't be a stranger
[Outro] G B Em Don't be a stranger G B Em Don't be a stranger G B Em Don't be a stranger G B Em
