Verse
E
Well everything goes back and forth
A E
you know it never ends
E
and some are gonna burn away
A E
and some of them pretend
[Chorus]
C#m E
but once there was a stranger
C#m E
who stopped me in the street
E A
he told me love was in his head
B E
and then he ceased to be
[Verse 2]
E
yeah when I looked the other way
A E
he'd split himself in two
E
and part of him just ran away
A E
the other part won't move
[Chorus]
C#m E
so take a look inside your head
C#m E
and tell me what you see
E A
is the stranger waiting there
B E
singing you to sleep
[Instrumental}

E
[Verse 3]
E
well things come screaming in your ear
A E
and future turns to past
E
and you're not listening anyway
A E
and nothing ever lasts
[Chorus]
C#m E
but once there was a stranger
C#m E
who stopped me in the street
E A
he told me love was in his head
B E
and then he ceased to be
