Hello Stranger


Tom: Cm

[Intro] Dm

   Dm
A word unpenned holds me by my angst again
Unbidden and unsent
                            A
To find my peace of mind a mess
     Dm
Her face, displaced
A thought I once chased and placed in sacred verse
                              A
Now I've raised only for my pride
    Dm
And now and then, I try to write it down
But I only seem a stranger
                           A
Should have put it in a major

      Dm 
And though 
   Gm
I feel 
Dm      A
So, so sure

     Dm        Bb           E7        A
And though it pays well to feel like hell
     Dm        Bb            E 
The truth's I want you, but can't

  Dm
Relief, I've learned, comes in foolish words and verse
Unloved and unheard by those who will not 
 A
dance
    Dm
I'm not a man, I'm worst at what I am
A sham, dodging your own draft
               A
Can I be your girl?
    Dm
Cuz in this age, called by what it escapes to be
An undying, roaring symphony on your TV 
   A
screen

     Dm 
And though 
   Gm
I feel 
Dm      A
So, so sure

      Dm       Bb           E7        A
And though it pays well to feel like hell
     Dm        Bb            E 
The truth's I want you, but can't

    Bb   F             Dm
So far away from your home
    Bb   F             Dm
So far away from your hole
      Bb     F             Dm
And still I find that I'm home
      Bb    Am             Dm
And still I find that I'm whole
      Bb     F
And still I find
  Bb     F
Still I find
      Bb     Am            Dm
And still I find that I'm whole
