Strangers When We Meet

[Intro]
A A A
Aadd9 Aadd9 G6 G6
E E Dsus2 Dsus2

[Verse 1]
Aadd9
All our friends
G6
Now seem so thin and frail
E
Slinky secrets
Dsus2/F#
Hotter than the sun
Aadd9
No peachy prayers
G6
No trendy rechauffé
E
I’m with you
Dsus2/F#
So I can’t go on

[Chorus]
E
All my violence
F#m Aadd9
Raining tears upon the sheets
E
I’m bewildered
Dsus2 Aadd9
For we’re strangers when we meet

Asus2 A F#m Dsus2

[Verse 2]
(Dsus2) Aadd9
Blank screen TV
G6
Preening ourselves in the snow
E
Forget my name
Dsus2/F#
But I’m over you
Aadd9
Blended sunrise
G6
And it’s a dying world
E
Humming Rheingold
Dsus2/F#
We scavenge up our clothes

[Chorus]
E
All my violence
F#m Aadd9
Raining tears upon the sheets
E
I’m resentful
Dsus2 Aadd9
For we’re strangers when we meet

[Instrumental]

F#m D E F#m/C#

[Verse 3]
E
Cold tired fingers
F#m D
Tapping out your memories
E
Halfway sadness
F#m D
Dazzled by the new
A
Your embrace
F#m
It was all that I feared
E
That whirling room
F#m7
We trade by vendu

[Chorus]
E
Steely resolve
F#m Asus2
Is falling from me
E
My poor soul
D Asus2
All bruised passivity
E
All your regrets
D Asus2
Ride rough-shod over me
E
I’m so glad
D Asus2
That we’re strangers when we meet
E
I’m so thankful
F#m Asus2
That we’re strangers when we meet
E
I’m in clover
D Asus2
For we’re strangers when we meet
E
Heel head over
F#m D E F#m7
But we’re strangers when we meet

[Outro]
D E
Strangers when we meet
F#m7 D
Strangers when we meet
E F#m7
Strangers when we meet
D E
Strangers when we meet

F#m7 D
Strangers when we meet
E F#m7
Strangers when we meet
D E
Strangers when we meet

F#m7 D
Strangers when we meet
E F#m7
Strangers when we meet
