We [Em] all have a face that we [Am] hide [E] away forever.
And we take them [C] out and show [D] ourselves when everyone has gone.
[E] Some are satin, some are steel, [A] some are [Em] silk and some are leather.
They're the [C] faces [D] of the stranger, [Bm] but we love to try them [Em] on.
[C] [F] [Em]
[E] [Am] [Em] We all fall in love, but we disregard the danger.
Though we [C] share so many secrets, [D] there are some we never tell.
[Em] Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger?
Did you [Am] ever [D] let your lover [Bm] see the stranger [Em] in yourself?
[D] [G] Don't be afraid to [D] try again.
Everyone [G] goes out, every [D] now and [Am] then.
[D] [G] [Gm] So if I catch [D] someone else, you should [G] know by [A#] now.
[A] [B] Jubilate yourself.
[Em] Once I used to believe I was [A] such a [Em] great romancer.
That I [C] came home to a woman [D] that I could not [Em] recognize.
When I quest her for a reason, she refused to even answer.
It was then I [D] felt the stranger [Bm] kick me right between the [Em] eyes.

Jubilate [A] yourself.
[B]
[Em] You may never understand [A] how the stranger is [Em]
inspired.
But [Am] he [C] isn't always evil, [D] and he is not always wrong.
Though [Em] you drown in good intentions, you will never quench the fire.
You'll [Am] give in to your [D] desire when [Bm] the stranger comes [Em]
along.
