We Were Strangers

INTRO: C  G  C

                                F                        G
You never asked for much, but I loved you just the same
                               F              C
You with your quiet eyes and a face without a name
                             F
You stood there staring as I sang another song
C                       G                    C      C7
We were strangers then, we weren't strangers long


       C                          F                   G
It was all that I could do not to turn away and hide
                                   F                 C
You stared right through me as you stood there at my side
                                           F
The things I read in those blue eyes, they seemed so calm and strong
C                       G                    C      C7
We were strangers then, we weren't strangers long


CHORUS:
    F                                    C
Now we weren't strangers long, though we never spoke at all
    D7                                  G
But in your eyes I saw you knew we were heading for a fall
  C                               F
I love you so completely, I never thought it might be wrong
C                           G                    C
We were strangers then, but we weren't strangers long


INSTRUMENTAL: C  F  G  F  C    F  G  C


CHORUS:
                     F               C
We weren't strangers long, though we never spoke at all
D7                                  G
In your eyes I saw you knew we were heading for a fall
  C                               F                          C
I knew you so completely, I never thought it might be wrong
                            G                    C
We were strangers then, but we weren't strangers long


                           F
Just like a book when it's read between the lines
         G                              F                C
It's the words that weren't spoken that told me you were mine
                                F                    C
And now the pages turn, but the story still goes on
                        G          D         C      D C
We were strangers then, we weren't strangers long
