Boy & Bear – Stranger (Guitar)

C                Em 
Old man was it worth it?         

        B            C 
Was it all that it seemed          

         C            G               Bm
Did you ever find a carcass of your dreams? 

        C               Em  
Oh you must know I was young 

      B             C 
The fear I had not yet outrun

              C              G              Bm      C 
Though I was never meant to hurt you, but I do,      

      Bm   A
But I do…… oh 

             A                             G       Am    
It’s got a hold of me and it keeps coming away      

Em                                       C               
And you were always looking at me from afar

           D                       
I can’t change

         Em            C
I’m a stranger to my nature 

           C          G   D                 Am
Would you love me anyway, if my head don’t talk right

                       C
Don’t let me down old man  

              C                   Em 
Through the swollen eyes of your Ritalin, 

               B                  C 
It’s like a stranger's standing over me 

               C                  G            Bm 
Some kind of faceless beast that watches as I sleep 

               C                Em
Now there’s a hard lump in my throat

             B                       C
And all the best times that you’ve ever known  

               C            G           Bm 
Are all just faded off the back of my sanity     

     C          
Oh please

   Bm       A
I made you weep

             A                             G       Am    
It’s got a hold of me and it keeps coming away      

Em                                       C               
And you were always looking at me from afar

           D                       
I can’t change

         Em            C
I’m a stranger to my nature 

           C          G   D                 Am
Would you love me anyway, if my head don’t talk right

                       C
Don’t let me down old man 

Em     C             Em    
          I want It back,   

 C                     Em 
I left the seed of a memory  

    C          Em               Bm       
And I wondered if I’ve come too far
