Chords

[Intro] F/Bb [Verse 1]
F/Bb
I was geared up for obscurity

Bb/C                 Bb
Excited, most specifically

       Gm7                C/G
About knowing you'd soon reach for me

    Fsus        F
And I'd be gone

           F/Bb
You always took me to another place

      Bb/C           Bb
Part childhood, part outer space

         Gm7              C/G
But the naked truth of our face-to-face

           Fsus           F
It's just not what I want
[Chorus]
       C                             Gm7
'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine

            F             Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

            F             Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

     C                              Gm7
And even as you claim that you can read my mind

             F         Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

             Dm7        Bb
We're still strangers sometimes
[Interlude] F/Bb [Verse 2]
F/Bb
Love was supposed to help me find myself

Bb/C                           Bb
Not just put me through this private hell

       Gm7                C/G
That just gets worse each time I tell you

    Fsus         F
What feels wrong

           F/Bb
Just a glimpse of what's achievable

      Bb/C         Bb
A sympathy unspeakable

         Gm7              C/G
Has left me a bit unreachable

    Fsus         F
For way too long
[Chorus]
       C                             Gm7
'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine

            F             Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

            F             Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

     C                              Gm7
And even if you’re still my Doctor Frankstenin

             F         Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

             Dm7        Bb
We're still strangers sometimes
[Instrumental Break] Dm Bb/C Gm7 F Bb (x2) [Verse 3]
F/Bb
You spend enough time with a mystery

Bb/C                Bb
Its powers start to atrophy

      Gm7                   C/G
So if you can't get to the heart of me

Fsus                  F
Let's just walk away
[Chorus]
       C                             Gm7
'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine

            F             Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

            F             Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

     C                              Gm7
And even as we cross each others' borderlines

             F         Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

             Dm7        Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

           F         Bb
We're still strangers sometimes

             Dm7        Bb
We're still strangers sometimes
