[ verse ]
E A D A A7 D
this never was one of the great romances
E A E
but i thought you’d always have those young girl’s eyes
A D A A7 D
but now they look in tired and bitter glances
A E A D A E
at the ghost of a man who walks ’round in my disguise

A D A A7 D
i get the feeling that i don’t belong here
E A E
but there’s no welcome in the window anyway
A D A A7 D
and i look down for a number on my keychain
A E A D
’cause it feels more like a hotel everyday
[ chorus ]
A E A D
there’s a stranger in the house; nobody’s seen his face
E A E
but everybody says he’s taken my place
A D
there’s a stranger in the house no one will ever see
E A D A E
everybody says he looks like me
[ verse ]
A D A A7 D
and now you say you’ve got no expectations
E A E
but i know you also miss those carefree days
A D A A7 D

A E A D

[ chorus ]
A E A D
there’s a stranger in the house; nobody’s seen his face
E A E
but everybody says he’s taken my place
A D
there’s a stranger in the house no one will ever see
E A D A E
everybody says he looks like me
E A D A
everybody says he looks like me
