Verse
D#m
Its been a strange night
A#
Radio Istanbul and a seasick flight
D#m
And such a cold day
A#
So many empty voices with important things to say
Cb
Ah, but you smile
D#m
Cause you know you wont be hanging for the trial
G#
Theyll have to judge you in absentia for a while
C#
As your [vast and gnarled soul?] touches down
A#
In a neeeeeeeeew town
D#m
Its been a strange life
[Verse 2]
D#m
Its been a bad year
A#
Far too many Xs in the atmosphere
D#m
Just like a dull knife
A#
You never know when youre gonna feel the bite
Cb
Ah, but you laugh
D#m
The immigration man he wants your autograph
G#
And you catch your sad reflection in the glass
C#
But you wash it from your memory like a stain
A#
In a sloooooooow drain
D#m
Its been a strange life
[Verse 3]
D#m
Its been a strange life
A#
Stumbling up the stairs and looking for the light
D#m
There are no just laws
A#
You know one mans battle is anothers lost cause
Cb
Ah, but you grin
D#m
Cause theres a sense of something coming on the wind
G#
And you really cant wait for it to begin
C#
And youre just another stranger in a strange town
A#
As you toooooooouch down
D#m
Its been a strange life
