A
All my friends

Now seem so thin and frail

           E
Slinky secrets

                D/F#
Hotter than the sun

		   A
No peachy prayers

No trendy rechauffe

	        E
I'm with you

		    D/F#
So I can't go on

Chorus:

		E
All my violence

	   D		        A
Raining tears upon the sheet

            E
I'm bewildered/resentful

		D		        A
For we're strangers when we meet

	        A
Blank screen TV

Preening ourselves in the snow

		E
Forget my name

		   D/F#
But I'm over you

        A
Blended sunrise

And it's a dying world

		       E
Humming Rheingold

			    D/F#
We scavenge up our clothes

(Chorus)

	     E        D/F#
Cold tired fingers

		 D(no third)    
Tapping out your memories

             E    D/F#
Halfway sadness

		 D(no third)
Dazzled by the new

	         A
Your embrace

Was all that I feared

              E
That whirling room

	       D/F#
We trade by vendu

	     E
Steely resolve 

         D      A
Is falling from me

	    E
My poor soul

	D	         A
All bruised passivity

		E
All your regrets

       D             A
Ride rough-shod over me

       E
I'm so glad

            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet

        E
I'm so thankful

            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet

        E
I'm in clover

                D		    A
That we're strangers when we meet

           E
Heel head over

             D              A
And we're strangers when we meet
