Chords
This version is in the key of A. I think the version on the record is in A-flat
so if you’d like to stay true to the record either tune down 1/2 step or just
write a flat symbol next to each of these chords and play the corresponding barre chords.
I think A is easier.
[Intro]
A E A D A E
[Verse]
E A D A A7 D This never was one of the great romances E A E But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes A D A A7 D But now they look in tired and bitter glances A E A D A E At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise A D A A7 D I get the feeling that I don't belong here E A E But there's no welcome in the window anyway A D A A7 D And I look down for a number on my keychain A E A D 'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday
[Chorus]
A E A D There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face E A E But everybody says he's taken my place A D There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see E A D A E Everybody says he looks like me
[Verse]
A D A A7 D And now you say you've got no expectations E A E But I know you also miss those carefree days A D A A7 D And for all the angry words that passed between us A E A D You still don't understand me when I say
[Chorus]
A E A D There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face E A E But everybody says he's taken my place A D There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see E A D A E Everybody says he looks like me E A D A Everybody says he looks like me
