[Verse 1]
          G
I saw a stranger
        G
He was wiry
          G
He was handsome
          G                C      
He was handsome and he was talking
  C/B    Am
 in his sleep
      C        C/B    Am
He's looking out for me
      C        C/B    Am    G
What a love

[Verse 2]
          G
I saw a stranger
          G
And he saw me
          G
He was handsome
          G
He was dancing and he
C        C/B    Am
Swept me off my feet
C        C/B    Am
When he grabbed ahold of me
C        C/B    Am       G
And the morning set us free

[Pre-chorus]
     Cadd9       Am
Well how are you stranger and
     G
And how have you been
         Cadd9      Am            
You said three Hail Mary's for to 
G
wash away my sin

[Chorus]
C    C/B      Am
But baby I’m guilty
        C
Silver barrel spinning
             C  C/B
Gold teeth shining
Am
Guilty
          C
And it’s hard to let you in
                  G
And I don’t know how

[Verse 3]
          G
She was a stranger
          G
On the 47 line
          G
I looked into her big room
     C         C/B  Am
And she looked into mine
     C         C/B  Am
It was like we were the same
     C         C/B  Am        G
It was like we were the same person

[Verse 4]
        G
I got a stranger
        G
I’m ashamed of
        G
He keeps coming out
        G
He keeps coming out
C         C/B  Am
Every time I dream (twiddle)
C         C/B  Am
Gets angry
(He gets angry and I)
C         C/B    Am    G
Starts crying

Well how are you stranger and
     G
And how have you been

Silver barrel spinning
             C  C/B
Gold teeth shining

          G
I saw a stranger

Pass me on the street
          G
Her eyes were so like yours
          G      C    C/B      Am
And it took me there
C    C/B      Am
Completely unprepared
C    C/B      Am                 G
When I kissed you on the stairs

[Verse 6]

Oh stranger

She is right here
       G
She’s watching me
       G
She’s watching me
C    C/B      Am
Like baby go ahead
C    C/B      Am
She really fucked it up this time
C    C/B      Am
But I know you needed friends so 
it’s alright

Well how are you stranger and
