C  D   G                      C
I-I-I, things have never been stranger

C  D   G                      C
I-I-I, things are gonna stay strange

C  D       G                 C
I-I-I, I remember life as a stranger

G C G
      Another night indoors,

G C G                 C   Em
      Another sign of life-ife

G           D           G
Wobbling up through the floor

G C G
      You and Kidada

G C G                  C          Em
      Ooh, I might get low, low, low

    G            D       G
But now I'm too high to know

G              C           G
 The sound of you and your sister

           G          C     G
I couldn't face these days alone

            C            Em
You got the right light, candles burning

   G                  D   G
We don't need the moon anymore

G             C          G
 I used to look for an answer

          G          C    G
I used to knock on every door

                C         Em
But you got the wave on, music playing

G                   D  G
Don't need to look anymore
[Chorus]
C  D   G                      C
I-I-I, things have never been stranger

C  D   G                      C
I-I-I, things are gonna stay strange

C  D       G                  C
I-I-I, I remember life as a stranger

C  D
I-I-I, but things change
[Verse 2]
G C G
      You and Kidada

G C G                     C         Em
      Ooh, the lights get low, low, low

    G        D      G
And I got nowhere to go

G          C             G
 I used to freeze on the dance floor

              G        C        G
I watched the icebergs from the shore

                C       Em
But you got the heat on, kettle screaming

G             D         G
Don't need to freeze anymore

I-I-I, things are gonna stay strange

C  D       G                  C
I-I-I, I remember life as a stranger

C  D
I-I-I, but things change
[Bridge]
G              C            D                G
 Who knows the reason that kindness lost its hold?

G             C          Am            D
 Those better angels confined to minor roles

G           C                 D               G
 I left the wilding, wilding, wilding days of old

G              C          Am            D
 Your house is warmer the wilderness is cold
[Chorus]
C D G                         C

Things have never been stranger (Ooh)

G                       C         D G
Things are gonna stay strange (Ooh)

G                      C           D      G
I remember life as a stranger (I-I-I...)
