Dm7       G9               C7M        C7M9
Take my hand,    I'm a stranger in paradise
Dm7          G9       Fm7            C7M           C7M9
All lost in a wonderland,    a stranger in paradise
         Dm7       G9                  C7M     C7M9
If I stand starry-eyed,     that's a danger in paradise
   Am6       Dm7       Fm   G9       C
For mortals who stand beside   an angel like you
Bridge
       G#7         C#
I saw your face, and I ascended
        Bm6    C7       Fm
Out of the commonplace   into the rare
      E7         A
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
       Dm7         G9      C7M
Until I know there's a chance you care
      Edim       Dm7           G9             C7M       C7M9
Won't you answer the fervent prayer  of a stranger in paradise
           Dm7          G9             C7M          C7M9
Don't send me in dark despair    from all that I hunger for
          D7     G9                    Em7       Edim
But open your angel arms    to this stranger in paradise
           Dm7          Fm           G9       C
And tell him that he need be    a stranger no more
