Dm
Its been a strange night
A
Radio Istanbul and a seasick flight
Dm
And such a cold day
A
So many empty voices with important things to say
Bb
Ah, but you smile
Dm
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
Dm
Its been a strange life
[Verse 2]
Dm
Its been a bad year
A
Far too many Xs in the atmosphere
Dm
Just like a dull knife
A
You never know when youre gonna feel the bite
Bb
Ah, but you laugh
Dm
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
Dm
Its been a strange life
[Verse 3]
Dm
Its been a strange life
A
Stumbling up the stairs and looking for the light
Dm
There are no just laws
A
You know one mans battle is anothers lost cause
Bb
Ah, but you grin
Dm
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
Dm
Its been a strange life
