  G*                               G*
I knew this moment would come along

    G*                               G*
but somethin' changed quite early on.

Em                           Em
Honestly, I think I remember when

  G*                                G*
I guess I just kept lookin' for the reasons I'd be wrong,

            G*                               G***
ignored the warning signs, it was easy to pretend.
[Chorus 1]
D/F#* Em***        Em/B*  G
Was I wrong to say that I loved ya,

     Bm**     Am**          D
even though I know that was true?

     G*                              G*
Wish I could've kept my distance then

        Em**             D**             C         C
and you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew,

G  G               C        C        Em        D
   stranger I once knew.
[Verse 2]
  G*                              G*
I tend to say the same old lines, over and over from time to time;

G*                                     G*
blind by pictures drawn up in my mind.

     G*                                 G*
Wish love could be as simple as one and one is two,

           G*                             G***
just as forever would be us, just all the time.
[Chorus 2]
     D/F#* Em***        Em/B*  G
Now, was I wrong to say that I loved ya,

     Bm**     Am**          D
even though I know that was true?

       G*                            G*
Wish I could've kept my distance then

        Em**             D**             C         C
and you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew,

G  G               C        C        Em        D
   stranger I once knew.
[Bridge]
         Am                   Bm
They say only the good times, only the good times

     Em           Em
will linger, will linger.

     Am                              Bm
From bitter to sweet wine, if you're takin'

                C                         D*
enough time you fill up that hole in your heart, yeah.
[Interlude] | G* | G* | G* | G* | [Ending]
         G*                              G*
I wish I could've kept my distance then,

      G*                                 G*
you'd still be a dear old friend.

        G*                                G*
And you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew.

        Em**             D**             C         C
And you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew,

G  G               C       C        Em       D
   stranger I once knew.
[Outro] STOP !! | G* | G* | G* | G* ||
