Lyrics
Well we (Em)all have a face
That we (Am)hide away (Em)forever,
And we (Am)take them out
And (C)show ourselves
When (D)ev'ryone has gone
(B7)Some are (Em)satin some are steel
Some are (Am)silk and some are (Em)leather,
They're the (Am)faces of a (D)stranger
(Em7)But we (Em)love to (Bm7)try them (Em)on.
(C7)Well we (Em)all fall in love
But we (Am)disregard the (Em)danger,
Though we (Am)share so many (C7)secrets
There are (D)some we never tell,
(B7)Why were (Em)you so surprised
That you (Am)never saw the (Em)stranger
Did you (Am)ever let your (D)lover see the (Em)stranger (Bm)in (Em)yourself?
(Gmaj7)Don't be afraid (Gm)to try again.
(D7)Ev'ryone goes (Gmaj7)south (Gm)ev'ry now and (D)then.
(Am7)Ooh. (D)(Gmaj7)You've done it, (Gm)why can't someone else?
(D7)You should know by (Bm7)now,
(Bbaug)you've been there (A6)yourself.
(B7)Once I (Em)used er to believe
I was (Am)such a great (Em)romancer,
Then I (Am)came home to a (C7)woman that I (D)could not recognize
(B7)When I (Em)pressed her for a reason she (Am)refused to even (Em)answer,
It was (Am)then I felt the (D)stranger (Em7)kick me (Em)right (Bm7)between the (Em)eyes.
(C7)Well we (Em)all fall in love
But we (Am)disregard the (Em)danger,
Though we (Am)share so many (C7)secrets
There are (D)some we never tell,
(B7)Why were (Em)you so surprised
That you (Am)never saw the (Em)stranger
Did you (Am)ever let your (D)lover see the (Em)stranger (Bm)in (Em)yourself?
(Gmaj7)Don't be afraid (Gm)to try again.
(D7)Ev'ryone goes (Gmaj7)south (Gm)ev'ry now and (D)then.
(Am7)Ooh. (D)(Gmaj7)You've done it, (Gm)why can't someone else?
(D7)You should know by (Bm7)now,
(Bbaug)you've been there (A6)yourself.
(B7)You may (Em)nev er understand
How the (Am)stranger is (Em)inspired er,
