[Verse 1]
---------------------
C         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                B7#9
When everyone has gone
         Em
Some are satin, some are steel
         Am                Em
Some are silk and some are leather
            Am         D
They're the faces of a stranger
         Bm               Em
But we'd love to try them on

[Bridge (2)]
---------------------
C Em C         Em
      Well, we all fall in love

[Verse 2]
---------------------
       Am            Em
But we disregard the danger
          Am               C
Though we share so many secrets
          D                 B7#9
There are some we never tell
         Em
Why were you so surprised
         Am            Em
That you never saw the stranger?
        Am            D
Did you ever let your lover
             Bm          Em
See the stranger in your self?

[Chorus]
---------------------
Gmaj7               Gmaj7#9            D
     Don't be afraid       to try again
D7            Gmaj7 Gmaj7#9       D    Am/D D7
Everyone goes south every now and then Ooh  ooh
Gmaj7
     You've done it
Gmaj7#9                   D
Why    can't someone else?
D7                 Gmaj7
You should know by now  
Gmaj7#9               Dmaj7 B7#9
You've been there yourself 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       Em
Once I used to believe
      Am             Em
I was such a great romancer
       Am             C
Then I came home to a woman
       D                  B7#9
That I could not recognize
       Em
When I pressed her for a reason
           Am        Em
She refused  to even answer
       Am              D
It was then I felt the stranger
        Bm                Em
Kick me right between the eyes



[Verse 4]
---------------------
       Am            Em
But we disregard the danger
          Am               C
Though we share so many secrets
          D                 B7#9
There are some we never tell
         Em
Why were you so surprised
         Am            Em
That you never saw the stranger?
        Am            D
Did you ever let your lover
             Bm          Em
See the stranger in your self?



[Verse 5]
---------------------
        Em
You may never understand
        Am            Em
How the stranger is inspired
       Am           C
But he isn't always evil
         D                B7#9
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

[Bridge (3)]
---------------------
         Bm              Em  C Em C Em C Em
When the stranger comes along
