one short night with a stranger

G Em
one full moon over my head

G Em
one false move and it’s over

C Em

G Em x2
my baby

G Em
strange how heavy my heart is

G Em
strange how dark it is tonight

G Em
strange the way this all started

C Em
i guess i’m losing track of wrong and right

C G
and as the lights go down i lie down with him

C Em
and as i’m layin’ there i can only smell your hair

C Em

G D
and as i move to let him in i can feel you crawl under my skin

G
and i can feel you from the inside

Em D
prowlin’ like devil that i’m tryin’ to hide

C Em Am G Em D
i can feel your heart beating closer than the poison of my pride

C Em Am

G Em x2

Am Em

Am C

G

Em D
prowlin’ like devil that i’m tryin’ to hide

C Em Am G Em D
i can feel your heart beating closer than the poison of my pride

C Em Am G Em D
i can feel you touchin’ me i look at him but it’s you i see babe

C Em Am G Em D
i can feel your heart beating closer than the poison of my pride

C Em Am

* note : some of the d’s are interchangeable with am’s in phrases ending in ’hide’ and ’pride . ’
it sounds good to add the pinky to the high E string on the 3rd fret
when you play the D for a few strums , that’s how grace plays it live .
