        Em
Well we all have a face
        Am           Em
That we hide away forever
       Am                C7
And we take them out and show ourselves
     D                B7
When everyone has gone
         Em             
Some are satin some are steel
         Am                Em
Some are silk and some are leather
            Am           D
They're the faces of the stranger
       Bm               Em  C7  Em  C7
But we love to try them on


        Em
Well we all fall in love
       Am            Em
But we disregard the danger
          Am            C7
Though we share so many secrets
          D                  B7
There are some we never tell
         Em 
Why were you so surprised
         Am            Em
That you never saw the stranger
        Am            D
Did you ever let your lover see
    Bm              Em
The stranger in yourself?


Bm*       Bb#5          D*
Don't be afraid to try again
D7            Bm*   Bb            D*    D  D7     
Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh
Bm*             Bb#5              D*
You've done it, why can't someone else?
D7                 Bm* Bb#5                  D    Bm
You should know by now you've been there yourself


       Em
Once I used to believe
      Am             Em
I was such a great romancer
       Am             C7
Then I came home to a woman
       D                  B7
That I could not recognize
       Em
When I pressed her for a reason
      Am            Em
She refused to even answer
       Am              D
It was then I felt the stranger
        Bm                Em  C7  Em  C7
Kick me right between the eyes


        Em
Well we all fall in love
       Am            Em
But we disregard the danger
          Am            C7
Though we share so many secrets
          D                  B7
There are some we never tell
         Em 
Why were you so surprised
         Am            Em
That you never saw the stranger
        Am            D
Did you ever let your lover see

You should know by now you've been there yourself


        Em
You may never understand
        Am             Em
How the stranger is inspired
       Am           C7
But he isn't always evil
       D                  B7
And he is not always wrong
           Em
Though you drown in good intentions
         Am               Em
You will never quench the fire
            Am           D
You'll give in to your desire
         Bm              Em  C7  Em  C7  Em  C7  Em
