        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

        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
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
