Strangers

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...
