VERSE 1:

        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        Em7    Em
They're the faces of a stranger but we love

Bm7        Em
To try them on

REPEAT INTRO

||:

        Em
Well we all fall in love

       Am            Em
But we disregard the danger

          Am            C7
Though we share so many secrets, there are

D                 B7
Some we never tell

         Em
Why were you so surprised

         Am             Em
That you never saw the stranger

        Am             D             Em
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger

Bm   Em
in yourself


Bm        Bb+             Bm7
Don't be afraid to try again

D              Bm
Everyone goes south

Bb            Bm7    D
Every now and then

Bm              Bb+               Bm7
You've done it, why can't someone else

D                  Bm
You should know by now,

Bb+                    D     Bm
You've been there yourself


                    Em
1st time:  Once I   used  to believe
2nd time:  You will never understand

        Am              Em
I   was such a great romancer
How the stranger is inspired

        Am            C7
Then I came home to a woman
But  he   isn't always evil

       D                  B7
That I could not recognize
And he is not always wrong

        Em
When I pressed her for a reason
Though you drown in good intentions

     Am                Em
She refused to give an answer
You will never quench the fire

       Am              D        Em7
It was then I felt the stranger kick me
You'll give into your desire when the

Em       Bm7      Em
Right between the eyes
Stranger comes along
