Lyrics

Well, we (Em7)all have a face that was we hide a way forever,

and I we (C)take them out to and show ourselves that I when (D)ev'ryone re has gone.

(B7#9)Some are (Em7)satin, her some are a rea steel,

son she some are fused silk and some are ven an leather.

They're the fac (D)then I es of the stranger,

but we (Bm7)love to try them (Em7)on.

(C7)Well, we (Em7)all fall in love,

but we (Am)disregard the (Em7)danger;

though we (Am)share so many (C)seccrets,

there are (D)some we never tell.

(B7#9)Why were (Em7)you so surprised that you (Am)never saw the (Em7)stranger?

Did you (Am)ever let your (D)lover see the (Bm7)stranger in (Em7)yourself?

(Gmaj7)Don't be (Gm)afraid to try (D)again.

(Dmaj7)Ev'ryone goes (Gmaj7)south (Gm)ev'ry now and (D)then.

(Am7)Ooh, (D)hoo.

(Gmaj7)You've done it;

(Gm)why can't someone (D)else?

You should know by (Bm)now;

(Bbaug)you've been there (A6)yourself.

(B7#9)Once I (Em7)used to believe I was we such a great romancer,

then I we (C)came home out to a woman selves that I when (D)could not one recognize.

(B7#9)When I (Em7)pressed in, her for are a rea steel,

son she re are fused silk and some are ven an leaswer.

It was fac (D)then I es felt the stranger kick me (Bm7)right between the (Em7)eyes.

(C7)Well, we (Em7)all fall in love,

but we (Am)disregard the (Em7)danger;

though we (Am)share so many (C)seccrets,

there are (D)some we never tell.

(B7#9)Why were (Em7)you so surprised that you (Am)never saw the (Em7)stranger?

Did you (Am)ever let your (D)lover see the (Bm7)stranger in (Em7)yourself?

(Gmaj7)Don't be (Gm)afraid to try (D)again.

(Dmaj7)Ev'ryone goes (Gmaj7)south (Gm)ev'ry now and (D)then.

(Am7)Ooh, (D)hoo.

(Gmaj7)You've done it;

(Gm)why can't someone (D)else?

You should know by (Bm)now;

(Bbaug)you've been there (A6)yourself.

(B7#9)Once I used (A6)self.

(B7#9)You may (Em7)never understand how the (Am)stranger is (Em7)inspired,

but he (Am)isn't always (C)evil and he (D)is not always wrong.
