[Verse 1]
E G# C#m E G# C#m
We were seventeen, first time away from home
F#m B
You lived down the hall

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

I returned his call, I tried to say, "it's nobody's fault"
[Chorus]

So don't be a stranger

C#m B
It's 10 pm, you've been drinking
A G#m F#m
You're holding court and putting on a show
C#m B
All the talent, but its a balance
D A B
I can't tell you anything you don't already know
E G# C#m E G# C#m
I can't predict the next time it'll hit

When the urge comes on strong
F#m B
To pack it in and dissolve
