B7 Cmaj7 C E7 Am C D Em7
                
B7 A B7 Em7 C7 Em7 C7
              


[Verse]
Em                     
Well we all have a face
Am                Em     
That we hide away forever
    Am               C                 
And we take them out and show ourselves
D                     
When everyone has gone
E7                           
Some are satin some are steel
A                      E7         
Some are silk and some are leather
Am                   D           
They're the faces of the stranger
Bm                        
But we love to try them on
Em C7 Em C7
       
Em                      
Well we all fall in love
                 Em        
But we disregard the danger
Am                 C           
Though we share so many secrets
D                 Bm        
There are some we never tell
B7              Em       
Why were you so surprised
A                  E7          
That you never saw the stranger
Em  Am           D             
Did you ever let your lover see
Bm              Em      
The stranger in yourself


[Chorus]
Gmaj7                    D        
     Don't be afraid to try again
Gmaj7              
Everyone goes south
          D   D7  
Every now and then
    Gmaj7
Ooh ooh  
                         D           
You've done it why can't someone else
                Bm    
You should know by now
            A     B7      
You've been there yourself


[Verse]
E7                    
Once I used to believe
  A                        
I was such a great romancer
Em          Am      C      
Then I came home to a woman
D                         
That I could not recognize
Em                             
When I pressed her for a reason
A              Em         
She refused to even answer
   A               D           
It was then I felt the stranger
Bm                    Em      
Kick me right between the eyes
Em7 C7 Em C7
        
Em7                     
Well we all fall in love
                 Em        
But we disregard the danger
                   C           
Though we share so many secrets
D                 Bm        
There are some we never tell
Em                       
Why were you so surprised
                   Em          
That you never saw the stranger
Am               D             
Did you ever let your lover see
Bm              Em      
The stranger in yourself


[Chorus]
Gmaj7                    D         D7
     Don't be afraid to try again  
Gmaj7              
Everyone goes south
Gmaj7             
Every now and then
       
Ooh ooh
D      Gmaj7             D           
You've done it why can't someone else
D7              Bm    
You should know by now
                  A       
You've been there yourself
B7  Em                  
You may never understand


[Verse]
A7      Am          Em      
How the stranger is inspired
Am           C          
But he isn't always evil
    D                     
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         
When the stranger comes along


[Solo]
C Em        
   Ooh ooh
    Em
