>From Album: A Room With A View of the Blues
C E7
The late show is over
Am C7 F F#07
And the city's half asleep
C E7 Am
And I'm lost in a world
D7 G7
That's just too cold, too cold and deep.
C E7
I've turned so many ways
Am C7 F F#07
And I'm spinning like a top
C E7 Am
I wish that I could get off
D7 G7 C G7
Or that the world, that the world would stop.
CHORUS:
C E7
I'm a stranger and afraid
Am C7 F F#07
I'm a stranger and afraid
C A7 D7
I'm a stranger and afraid
G7 C F F#07
In a world I never made.
C E7
I'm always chasing dragons
Am C7 F F#07
With a sword that's made of tin
C E7 Am
And I know in my soul
D7 G7
There's no way that I can win.
C E7
I try, oh, how I try
Am C7 F F#07
But there's no place, no place to go
C E7 Am
There's no one here who knows me
D7 G7 C G7
And no one here I know.
