Misc Soundtrack – Big Fish - Stranger (Guitar)

C
Stranger

    F
I'm feeling stranger

               C
Than I've ever felt before

    F
And so much more

C
Different

     F
Like something old has joined

               Cmaj7
With something new

            F
But still feels true

    Am7           Am       C      F   F6
I'm passing through a rite that every parent does

    Csus2        G         D4      F       Fsus2   C
I'm walking on some shared familiar ground

Csus2    Am
  Yet every step I take

Am7        F6             F
  Is not a step that was

F6         Bb2
  And I've found

           Bb2
I like the sound of

C
Stranger

  F
A child I've yet to meet

           Cmaj7
Becomes my everything

   F
My song to sing

C
Father

    F
And suddenly the weight of it is real

Cmaj7       F
  What do I feel?

  Am7     Am     C       Fsus2      F6
I feel connected in a way I've never known

  Csus2          G      D4      F    Fsus2    C
A line from Dad to me to new-born son

   Am
So from today

                  C4
I'll never make a choice alone

        Bb2
One for all

        Bb2
All for one

    Am
And when he's born

     Fsus4               Fsus2       C
I'll teach him how to use his common sense

      Bb6                   F             Csus2   G
He'll listen and he'll learn and he'll excel

     Am
I'll tell my son

     F                Fsus2             C
That life is lived in clear and present tense

      Bb6          F      F6     Csus2    G
Not only in the stories we can tell

   D
My father told me stories

        F             F6
I could never comprehend

   D                                 F    F6
In every tale he'd claim to be the hero

     Bb            F
I've tried to understand him

      F#sus2         D#sus2
But I wonder if I can

        D#    C#     D#     C#
Because after almost thirty years

  Dm7                  Dsus4    Dm7
I still don't know the man

F                 Dm    Asus4
I wish I knew the man

Dm    G      C
  But he's a stranger

   F                           Cmaj7
My father is a stranger I know very well

  F
A puzzling shell

C
Hopeful

       F                               Cmaj7
What's on its way may help us both to grow

        Fsus2
But I don't know

  Am                   C         Fsus2 Dm7
I don't know when I'll understand what made him wild

  Csus2         G      Csus4        C
I don't know why he has the urge to fly

  Am                              F6
I want to face him like a man and not a child

        Bb2
So I'll try

            Bb2
I'll really try

       C               Csus2   G
And in time, my boy is sure to see

Dsus4            C#maj7
Brighter days for dad and me

Dm7              Am          C(b5)    Am
We can do things better than before

        Dm7  Fsus2  Dm7 Bdim   F   Dm   Am   F   Csus4   F   Fsus2
So that strangers   we  will   be

   C   G#6   F   Bb2   C
no more
