Intro
G D Em Am (2x)
Verse
G
You always knew me
Em Am
Better than anyone else I'd ever met
G
And that's what threw me
Em Am
I think I lost myself the day you left
G Em Am
We used to stay up just to watch the date change to something new
G D
Another day where I would have you
Pre-Chorus
Am
But how can it all change so fast
C
From everything to nothing just like that?
Em D
And all that time we'll never get back
Am
You know I was never scared of the end
C
Only the way I knew we'd pretend
Em D
Like you and I were never even friends
[Refrão] C G
From talking every waking hour
D Em
To not knowing where you are now
C G
We're Suddenly Strangers
Em D
Isn't it strange?
C G
And in the space you used to sleep
D Em
Are all those vows we couldn't keep
C G
We're Suddenly Strangers
Em D
Isn't it strange?
Verse
Am G
I remember
Em Am
The way you used to talk about your doubts
G
Like they were demons
D Em Am
I wonder if you still talk like that now
G D
I used to say you were my home
Am G
But now the house is empty
D
And I'm sleeping alone
[Refrão] C G
From talking every waking hour
D Em
To not knowing where you are now
C G
We're Suddenly Strangers
Em D
Isn't it strange?
C G
And in the space you used to sleep
D Em
Are all those vows we couldn't keep
C G
We're Suddenly Strangers
Em D
Isn't it strange?
