[Verse 1]
F# A# D#m F# A# D#m
We were seventeen, first time away from home
G#m C#
You lived down the hall
G#m C#
Went to high school in Oshawa
F# A# D#m F# A# D#m
Days would go by, you'd never leave your room
G#m C#
I'd ask what was wrong
G#m C#
You just laughed and said, "c'mon"
[Chorus]
B D#m
But It's easy for me to say:
G#m F#
I'm not alone with those conversations
B D#m
That you have with yourself all day
G#m C#
Man I get it when you need escaping
B F# G#m
When it gets too much
B F# G#m
I love you like my own blood
N.C.
So don't be a stranger
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
F# A# D#m
No one ever knew how you two could even be related
F# A#
You were always delicate
D#m
Despite a father with no patience
G#m C# G#m C#
I returned his call, I tried to say, "it's nobody's fault"
[Chorus]
B D#m
It's easy for me to say:
G#m F#
I'm not alone with those conversations
B D#m
That you have with yourself all day
G#m C#
Man I get it when you need escaping
B F# G#m
When it gets too much
B F# G#m
I love you like my own blood
N.C.
So don't be a stranger

[Bridge]
D#m C#
It's 10 pm, you've been drinking
B A#m G#m
You're holding court and putting on a show
D#m C#
All the talent, but its a balance
E B C#
I can't tell you anything you don't already know
F# A# D#m F# A# D#m
I can't predict the next time it'll hit
G#m C#
When the urge comes on strong
G#m C#
To pack it in and dissolve
[Chourus]
B D#m
It's easy for me to say:
G#m F#
I'm not alone with those conversations

Man I get it when you need escaping
B F# G#m
When it gets too much
B F# G#m
When it gets too much
B F# G#m
I know it gets too much
G#m
What have you been taking?
B F# G#m
I love you like my own blood
G#m
So don't be a stranger
