C G

Hey stranger

C

Would you come in through my door?

D

If not now I leave it ajar

C G

And then maybe you could come back come back

C

I'll be waiting here for you

D

I'll be hoping here for you

C G D

I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true

G

That in all these lonely years

C

How would I have loved your company

D

But I never could give in

G

To this fragile side of me

C D

You see I've always been a man of great ambition

C D

But succes just turned his back and never came

G

And now I find I became a man

C

Of even greater solitude

D

And I wish I spent more time

G

Making friends with guys like you

C D

Oh stranger, how can I make you stay?

G

For a little while a little while

C D

Oh stranger, please don't go away

G

I'm living on

I'm singing on

just to let me

C

sing one song for you

G

Hey stranger

C D

This is my song, it is old & it is wrinkled

C

I tried it for too long

D

I tried it time after time

C

To forget about myself

D

And to hide it in a while

C

But a while's been going on

G

Since I can't remember when

C

And got catched up by the life

D

Of a lost and lonely man

I think i'm a-sung away a little faster

than I planned

G

Hey stranger

C D

This is my life, I can't use it anymore

C G

For I share it with one but myself myself

C

I can't fool you anymore

D

Let me hide with you a while

C

Let me try it a little while

G

Let me try it a little while

C G D

And then maybe you'll believe it's true

G

That in all these years I spent

C

With the glory of a fool

D

Making diamonds out of tears

G

On the highest bid to go

C

That I've been searching for a friend

D

To tell my troubles to

G

But I could never understand

C G

How to get out of that cell that cell

C D

Please don't send me back to hell
