[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 They're the faces of the stranger Bm Em C7 Em C7 But we love to try them on
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
Bm* Bbaug D* Don't be afraid to try again D7 Bm* Bb D* D D7 Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh Bm* Bbaug D* You've done it, why can't someone else? D7 Bm* Bbaug D Bm You should know by now you've been there yourself
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]

[Verse 5]
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
