The Airborne Toxic Event – Strangers (Guitar)

G
Every day at sunrise, I’ve got to

Em
Empty my pockets, I’ve got four

D
cups of coffee

         C
and these empty sockets

        G
and the dreams I held so tender loom

       Em
In the air around my bedroom

D
I think about the rising sun

        C
And the day to come and I wonder

            G              Em
Where you went, where you went

              D
Are you wide awake?

                      C
Did you read all the letters that I sent?

               G
Are you fast asleep?

                Em         D     C
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?

     G                         Em
Till all the walls fall we’ll just keep being strangers

       D
As the world rearranges

      C
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green

         G
And the sunrise is a welcome thing

      Em
But I wish it was more welcoming

             D
‘Cause this life has such an awful sting

        C                   G      Em D C
And a price to pay for everything

    G                       Em
And every day they say, just get away

              D
They say just, get back up

              C                          G
They say just, stand tough you’ve got to keep it up

              Em
You’ve got to learn to play rough

                 D
You’ve got to run through a field on a sunlit day

          C
Laugh it off then sleep at night

            G                  Em
But I don’t care, I just don’t care

                     D                       C
‘Cause if you’re not here there’s no one to laugh at the jokes we share

              G
Are you fast asleep?

               Em             D C
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?

     G                        Em
Till all the walls fall we’ll just keep being strangers

       D
As the world rearranges

      C
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green

        G
And the sunrise is a welcome thing

      Em
But I wish it was more welcoming

            D
‘Cause this life has such an awful sting

     C                       G    Em D C
And a price to pay for everything

   Em                        C
I saw you last night in the cell where I sleep

          G                    D
And your shyness was such a surprise

                Em                    C
And you said, I hold you in me like a secret I keep

        G                      D                Em
And the truth of that moment defies all that we know...                        

         C
Oh Oh Oh Oh... 

         G
Oh Oh Oh Oh...

         D
Oh Oh Oh Oh...

         Em       
Where we go...

         C
Oh Oh Oh Oh...

         G
Oh Oh Oh Oh...

         D      D
Oh Oh Oh Oh...

                G
So I think till all the walls fall

     Em
I’ll just keep getting stranger

    D
The world will rearrange her

     C
Into something just as beautiful

  G
I know that I won’t know you then

      Em
But I see no reason to pretend

         D
‘Cause I love you now and I’ll love you then

        C                      G     Em
And the sun will shine on everything

D       C
Oh whoa oh   

     G
till all the walls fall

      Em
We'll just keep bein' strangers

    D
The world will rearrange us

     C                           
Into things we never planned to be

       G
As the sun rises around us

    Em
And continues to confound us

    D
Its beauty will surround us

    C                        G     Em
And share its life with everything

    D        C  G
And oh... oh oh oh...
