               D
  What do you see?

               E                    F#m
  A million of you and a million of me

                 C#m
  The future’s unspoken

             D

        A               C#m              D            E
  I’m a stranger on the outside when I’m not right next to you

        A                   C#m
  I’m a lonely man walking, searching for my home

  D                               E            
  Been a thousand years and her I am I’m all alone

          A                      C#m
  I’m out looking for my lovely one to save the day

   D                  E               
  Here I come, I’m no stranger today
Outro: A C#m D E (x3) A Just listen to song to get strumming - its pretty easy and consistent throughout. All of the C#m's can be played with the high E open or 4th fret. The sevenths are optional during the verses. Good luck and enjoy!!
