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
