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