Its been a strange night

Radio Istanbul and a seasick flight
Gm
And such a cold day

So many empty voices with important things to say
Eb
Ah, but you smile
Gm
Cause you know you wont be hanging for the trial
C
Theyll have to judge you in absentia for a while
F
As your [vast and gnarled soul?] touches down
D
In a neeeeeeeeew town
Gm
Its been a strange life

Gm
Its been a bad year
D
Far too many Xs in the atmosphere
Gm
Just like a dull knife
D
You never know when youre gonna feel the bite
Eb
Ah, but you laugh
Gm
The immigration man he wants your autograph
C
And you catch your sad reflection in the glass
F
But you wash it from your memory like a stain
D
In a sloooooooow drain
Gm
Its been a strange life
[Verse 3]
Gm
Its been a strange life
D
Stumbling up the stairs and looking for the light

There are no just laws

You know one mans battle is anothers lost cause

Ah, but you grin

Cause theres a sense of something coming on the wind
C
And you really cant wait for it to begin

And youre just another stranger in a strange town

As you toooooooouch down
Gm
Its been a strange life
