The Stranger piano leadsheet with chords

Level 5G80 BPMBilly Joel
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

Well we all have a face

That we hide away forever,

And we take them out

Well we all fall in love

But we disregard the danger,

Though we share so many secrets

There are some we never tell,

Why were you so surprised

That you never saw the stranger

Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself?

Ev'ryone goes south ev'ry now and then.

Ooh. You've done it, why can't someone else?

You should know by now,

you've been there yourself.

You may nev er understand

How the stranger is inspired er,

But he isn't always evil

And he isn't always wrong,

Though you drown in good intentions you will never quench the fire swer,

You'll give in to your desires er When the stranger comes along.

Well we
