[Em] When we all have a face [Am] and we hide [Em] away forever, [A] and we take them [C] out and show [D] ourselves when
everyone [Bm] has gone.
[E] Some are satin, some are steel, [A] some are silk and [Em] some are leather.
[Am] They're the faces [D] of the stranger, [Bm] but we love to [Em] try them on.
[C] [Em]
[C] [Em] Maybe I'll fall in love, but we disregard the danger, [Am] though we share so [C] many secrets.
[D] There are some we [Bm] never tell.
[Em] Why were you so surprised that you never [E] saw the stranger?
Did [A] you ever [D] let your lover [Bm] see the stranger in [Em] yourself?
[G] Don't be afraid to [D] try again.
Everyone [G] goes south, every [D] now and then.
[G] You've [Gm] done it, why can't [D] someone [F#] else?
You should know [Bm] by now, [A#] you've been there [A] yourself.
[Em] Once I used to believe I [A] was such a great [Em]
romancer, that [Am] I came home [C] to a woman that [D] I could not [Bm] recognize.
When [Em] I pressed her for a reason, she [A] refused to [Em] even answer.
[A] It was then I felt [D] the stranger [Bm] kick me right between [Em] the eyes.

Maybe I'll fall in love, but [Am] we disregard [Em] the danger, [Am] though we share so [C] many secrets.

You should [Bm] know by [A#] now, you've been [A] there yourself.
[B] [Em] You may never understand [A] how the stranger [Em] is inspired, [Am] but he isn't [C] always evil, [D] and it is not [Bm] always wrong.
[Em] Though you drown in good intentions, [Am] you will never [Em] quench the fire.
[Am] You'll give in to [D] your desire [Bm] when the stranger [Em] comes along.
