We [Em] all have a face that we [Am] hide [Em] away forever and we [C] take them out and show [D] ourselves whenever
everyone has [Bm] 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 but we [Bm] love to try them [Em] on.
_ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] [Em] We all fall in love but we disregard the danger, [C] though we share so many secrets.
[D] There are some we never [Bm] 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?
_ [G] Don't be afraid to [D] try again.
Everyone [G] goes out every [D] now and [Am] then.
[D] [G] You [Gm] thought it, why can't [D] someone else?
You should [Bm] know by [A#] now, you've been [F#m] there yourself.
[B] _
[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 recognize.
[Em] When I pressed her for a reason, she refused to even answer.
It was then I [D] felt the stranger [Bm] kick me right between [Em] the eyes.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [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?
[C] Did you ever [D] let your lover [Em] see the stranger in yourself? _
_ [G] Don't be afraid to [D] try again.
Everyone [G] goes out every [D] now and [F#] then.
_ [G] You thought [Gm] it, why can't [D] someone else?
You should know [G] by [A#] now, you've been there [A] yourself.
[B]
You [Em] may never understand how [Am] the stranger is [Em]
inspired.
But [Am] he isn't [C] always evil [D] and it is not always wrong.
Though [Em] you drown in good intentions, you [Am] will never quench [Em] the fire.
You'll [C] give in to your [D] desire when the stranger comes [Em]
along.
