Chords

[Verse 1]
B   E   B                         E
Isn't it strange that two strangers

B                                 E
Suddenly don't feel so strange

A                                 E
It's something familiar, though this time is different

F#m                                  B
What they're in for feels like sea change

          E                     B
Isn't it weird the two weirdos

F#m                 A               E
Can wind up not feeling that weird

A                                  E
It's all so momentous, yet perfectly normal

F#m                       B
Scary but not to be feared
[Chorus]
B 
And it starts with a sentence

A
That might last a lifetime

E
Though it all might just

B
Go down in flames

B
If I let you know me then

A
Why would you want me

E
Each day I don't is a shame

G                                 B  G
Each day I don't is a great shame

 F#m         A              E
Each day I don't is a great shame
[Instrumental] F#m E F#m E B F#m B E A E F#m A F#m B [Verse 2]
E                               B
Isn't it great that two people

E
Together can tear down one wall

A                                    E
A handwriting is on, it's not hieroglyphic

         F#m                  B
That barrier just has to fall

B                                    E
Well, isn't it sad that most people

B                                    E
Stay so lonely, it's almost a crime

A
We might be strange weirdos

 E
That can't be normal

    F#m                               B
To be frightened so much of our time
[Chorus]
G                              B
And it starts with a sentence

A
That might last a lifetime

B
Though it all might just
Go down in flames
G                       B    E
If I let you know me then

A                       E
Why would you want me?

E                            B
Each day I don't is a shame

E        A       G                 A     E
And each day I don't is a great shame
