[Verse]

          F#m   A    E    F#m
Who's the guy in the mirror
     F#m       A  E
I've never seen before
F#m       A          E    F#m
Afraid to let him in here
     F#m       A      Bm  A E
So I better lock the door


[Pre Chorus]

  F#m
I forget how to remember
    E               F#m
The present and the past

Every day is an adventure
      G                A
Every day might be the last


[Chorus]

       Bm        G      D A
Like a face of a stranger
Bm             G  D E
Look me in the eye
       Bm        G      D A
Like a face of a stranger
      Bm               G D E
It is time to say good-bye


[Verse 2]

     F#m             A    E    F#m
Many moments full of flashbacks
  F#m        A  E
Reflect another life
F#m         A      E    F#m
Reality has turned black
     F#m       A    Bm A E
It's gonna be alright


[Pre Chorus 2]

    F#m
I'm living in a dreamworld
E              F#m
Always on my own

And missing all the true words
         G         A
Where is everybody gone


[Chorus 2]

     Bm        G      D A
On a face of a stranger
Bm            G  D E
Not afraid to cry
     Bm        G      D A
On a face of a stranger
        Bm             G   D E
No more time to reason why

[Middle Section]

Em               B
Fading oceans of memories
      G                    D
Bring tears of anguish and shame
  C                 Bm
A song of vanishing melodies
      Am       D                B
Where days and nights sound the same
Em                  B
Time is endless for evermore
     G                       D
Like dreams on wind's golden gale
  C                   Bm
Behind the rim of the final door
    Am        D           B
The sounds of darkness prevail


[Interlude]

       F#m       D     A E
Like a face of a stranger
F#m            D  A Bm
Look me in the eye
       F#m       D     A E
Like a face of a stranger
      F#m              D  A E
It is time to say good-bye


[Chorus 3]

       Bm        G      D A
Like a face of a stranger
Bm             G  D E
Look me in the eye
       Bm        G      D A
Like a face of a stranger
      Bm               G D E
It is time to say good-bye


     Bm        G      D A
On a face of a stranger
Bm            G  D E
Not afraid to cry
     Bm        G      D A
On a face of a stranger
        Bm             G   D E
No more time to reason why


Bm G D A
                     Bm   G  D E
Who’s the guy in the mirror
Bm      G         D   A   Bm G D E
I see a face of a stranger
Bm           G            D         A  Bm G D E
Always on my own where is everybody gone
  Bm             G     D A
I wish I could remember
         Bm             G   D E
But I’ve lost it all forever
       E               F#m
Look a stranger in the eye
