Hey stranger
C
Would you come in through my door?
D
If not now I leave it ajar
C G
And then maybe you could come back come back
C
I'll be waiting here for you
D
I'll be hoping here for you
C G D
I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true
G
That in all these lonely years
C
How would I have loved your company
D
But I never could give in
G
To this fragile side of me
C D
You see I've always been a man of great ambition
C D
But succes just turned his back and never came
G
And now I find I became a man
C
Of even greater solitude
D
And I wish I spent more time
G
Making friends with guys like you
C D
Oh stranger, how can I make you stay?
G
For a little while a little while
C D
Oh stranger, please don't go away

G
I'm living on
I'm singing on
just to let me

C
sing one song for you

G
Hey stranger
C D
This is my song, it is old & it is wrinkled
C
I tried it for too long
D
I tried it time after time
C
To forget about myself
D
And to hide it in a while
C
But a while's been going on
G
Since I can't remember when
C
And got catched up by the life
D
Of a lost and lonely man
I think i'm a-sung away a little faster
than I planned

G
Hey stranger
C D
This is my life, I can't use it anymore
C G
For I share it with one but myself myself
C
I can't fool you anymore
D
Let me hide with you a while
C
Let me try it a little while
G
Let me try it a little while
C G D
And then maybe you'll believe it's true
G
That in all these years I spent
C
With the glory of a fool
D
Making diamonds out of tears
G
On the highest bid to go
C
That I've been searching for a friend
D
To tell my troubles to
G
But I could never understand
C G
How to get out of that cell that cell
C D
Please don't send me back to hell
